The NEWS file displays with no line breaks on Win10 in either Firefox or 
Chrome.  This makes it essentially unreadable.  Going back to 
https://twistedmatrix.com/Releases/rc/, and looking at the various 
release candidates, it looks like 17.1.0rc1 and before look like normal 
text files, but 17.5.0rc1 and later look like a single globbed line of 
text.  Probably not coincidentally, the good versions all list the 
Content type as [text/plain] whereas the unreadable versions are all 
[text/html]
