Looks consistent now. Thank you.

Some of the NEWS files weren't written in markdown. Adding the .md file extension triggers interpreting the files in markdown in some file viewers (incl. our mirror on GitHub).
So, that difference was intended (but has been overwritten by later commits as you've noticed).

Those text files shouldn't have the executable mode bits set. Removed here:
https://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/7bf90b0a31b9
https://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/bb2156bac85b

Marking as ready for test.

Looks like all NEWS files are now named NEWS.xxx.md, but the executable bit is now switched on for versions 7 and 8.

1. The NEWS files for versions 1,2,3,4 say NEWS.xxx but those for 5,6,7,8 say NEWS.xxx.md. Is this intended or an oversight?

2. The file permission for NEWS.7.md has the executable bits switched on while those for the others do not. The file is not an executable.
