Update NEWS with recent contributions
The goal is to try and keep these updates as close to when I merge the
changes as possible, since they become unmanageable if you wait until
the day of the release.
I want to acknowledge all the amazing people people who are
contributing to `pdf-tools` and making it the powerhouse it is.

* Version 1.2.0 (Under Development)
+** New functionality to improve overall user experience
+- Allow creation of markup annotations without a text selection @astoff #191
+ + This means that you can now highlight an exact region, for example on OCR
PDFs! Just select the region by holding down the Meta key and dragging the
mouse. Then invoke ~pdf-annot-add-highlight-markup-annotation~ (with ~C-c C-a
h~) and voila!
+ + Please note that *only the highlight markup annotation* is supported on
rectangular regions.

+** Functionality improvements and fixes
+- Allow setting ~selection-style~ via the Easy Menu @astoff #190
+- Improve the experience of editing Annotations @astoff #192
+- Enable ~pdf-view-dark-minor-mode~ automatically if the current Emacs theme
is dark #166

+** New functionality to improve overall user experience
- Make ~selection-style~ configurable when selecting text, via
~pdf-view-selection-style~ @hrdl-github #73
+ This feature enabled us to change the default ~selection-style~ used in
~pdf-tools~ from =GLYPH= to =WORD=.
+ The change makes highlighting / selecting text *much* snappier. If you
want to go back to the old behaviour of selecting by glyph instead of word, or
if you want to select a whole line instead, customize ~pdf-view-selection-style~

beautiful the colors look in midnight mode now.

Please note: as of this release, users are not expected to manually set
anything on their machines during installation. (for example:
~$PKG_CONFIG_PATH~). The installation should *just work*. If it does not,
please open a ticket so that we can track it.
