This is done in the same style as #1493, reading release notes.

Also, I marked with (?) the few new features that I’m unsure if they mean any update in this project or not.
I’ll try to go through it in details in the next few days and correct it.

Finally, I’ll try to go through the list to mark what’s already done.

@Alexerson great work! 👍

I see that db_comment is checked as done, but is not present on ForeignKey. Can this be checked?

[sobolevn]

@Roukoswarf PR is welcome :)

Seems the issue was due to my LSP pulling the wrong version from the overlapping files in django-types, apologize greatly.
TIL pip will happily override other package's files without warning.
