Instructions for writing "What's new" entries

.. whats-new-guide-start

Please place new portions of :file:whats_new.rst in the :file:doc/users/next_whats_new/ directory.

When adding an entry please look at the currently existing files to see if you can extend any of them. If you create a file, name it something like :file:cool_new_feature.rst if you have added a brand new feature or something like :file:updated_feature.rst for extensions of existing features.

Include contents of the form::

Section title for feature
-------------------------

A bunch of text about how awesome the new feature is and examples of how
to use it.

A sub-section
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Please avoid using references in section titles, as it causes links to be confusing in the table of contents. Instead, ensure that a reference is included in the descriptive text.
