GitHub changelog removes line breaks before list items about dart_cli_pkg HOT 3 CLOSED

GitHub actually has subtly different Markdown parsing that it uses for rendering Markdown files and for release notes. In files, newlines within paragraphs are ignored, but in release notes (as well as issues, comments, and a number of other places) newlines within paragraphs are converted to user-visible line breaks. To ensure that the CHANGELOG file's formatting is preserved, we convert newlines to spaces before passing it as release notes.

That said, we shouldn't strip newlines if they're before lists. Do you want to take a crack at fixing the issue?

@nex3 just before jumping in on this, I was looking through the sass release notes, and seems the problem does not happen there. My markdown linter seems to replace * for - do you think the issue has to do with the list character?

No, I think the difference is that we include full blank lines between each bullet point.
