>Description:
	The release notes in head are usually not updated when new software and other changes are made into head.  This can make the creation of the relase notes during the release process a tedious job.
>How-To-Repeat:
	
>Fix:

	Attached patch adds some updates to the release notes.  I will try to keep them updated and send new patches when noteworthy things are commited to head.
