that's a bug in the interface/application actually(it is broken 
input/output escaping of quotes) - I complained about that a while ago 
to magnus but I guess he forgot about it...

Notice that this is the first release cycle I actually started tracking 
new features on the feature matrix during the development cycle(well I 
did before but it was hidden to the normal users). A lot of the 
detailpages for the new features lack mostly because we try avoiding 
linking to development versions of the docs or stuff that might change 
rapidly (like some of the wiki pages).
What I usually do is once we have the release notes I do a full 
copyediting pass over all of them to bring the descriptions more in line 
with the "official" wording.

The current legecy interface to doing the updates is very very rough, 
tends to crash browers and is not concurrency safe so if you have 
suggestions for improvments (especially for the non 8.5a3 only features) 
it seems better if you bring them up here (or send them to me) until 
magnus gets the replacement infrastructure up ;)
