"Continuing implementation" does not make sense here.  NEWS entries for 
2.30 need to be relative to the state of 2.29, which didn't have this 
functionality at all.

(Also, it appears the text you're changing here is above the heading for 
2.30.  It needs to be below the "Major new features:" heading for 2.30, or 
whatever version gets the feature.  So patch 1 in the series needs to be 
revised with that fix to NEWS.)
