I've just gone through this, tidied up the grammar and changed the style so that it emphasises what the new release will do for the user, rather than listing features by their internal functions. > 3.

I've added the following as the synopsis for the changelog, which should be suitable: The FlightGear development team is happy to announce the v2.6.0 release of FlightGear, the free, open-source flight simulator. This new version contains many exciting new features, enhancements and bugfixes. Major improvements from v2.4.0 include reduced AI aircraft load times, easier graphics tuning, more sophisticated AI aircraft and improved usability. Founded in 1997, FlightGear is developed by a worldwide group of volunteers, brought together by a shared ambition to create the most realistic flight simulator possible that is free to use, modify and distribute. FlightGear is used all over the world by desktop flight simulator enthusiasts, for research in Universities and for interactive exhibits in museums. FlightGear features more than 400 aircraft, a worldwide scenery database, detailed sky modelling, a flexible and open aircraft modelling system, varied networking options, multiple display support, and an open architecture. Best of all, it is open-source so no company controls development.
