Subject: [PATCH] v2 Docs: changes.rst: introduce optional column
Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2026 17:25:22 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260831152523.638881-1-manuelebnerli@mailbox.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260831151605.638172-2-manuelebnerli@mailbox.org>
The optional tag isn't obvious nor defined. Therefore replace with column.
