I think I found a good place for this text.  What about in the first 
chapter of the user guide, "Overview of GnuCash"?  I can make a new 
section called "Features".

So, within this new section called "Features", I'll add a list of all 
the GnuCash features, with a subsection at the end called "What's New" 
that describes the differences from 1.6.

What do you think?

Chapter 1 is currenty layed out like this:

-Overview of GnuCash
   -Introduction to GnuCash
   -About this Book
   -Top Ten Reasons to Use GnuCash
   -Installation

This "features" section could go between "Intro.." and "About..."
