It's been modified between r1 and r2, but within r1, it's untouched.

diff r1/reading.html r1/_darcs/current/reading.html

Thus it's wrong when whatsnew in r1 says every line has been modified.

Soon? Of course, I've been saying that for much more than 3 months, so it's
hard to believe myself.  If it hadn't been for the recently discovered bugs
in --ask-deps I probably would have made the next release a 1.0-rc1
release.  To be very safe (on a +/- 3 months confidence interval) I'd say
three months from now, but really I think it'll be sooner than that.
