Hi Myrna,

I fed the generator a list of issues marked "fix in 10.3" and "release 
note needed". The good news is that 5 issues already have release notes 
in the new format. The generator reported that the following issues need 
to have their notes converted:

genrelnotes:
[generateReleaseNotes] The following JIRA issues still need release notes:
[generateReleaseNotes]     DERBY-2430     setObject(int targetType, Blob 
source) and setObject(int targetType, Clob source) should disallow 
updates on all targetTypes except BLOB and CLOB respectively
[generateReleaseNotes]     DERBY-2108    Implement SSL/TLS communication 
between client and server
[generateReleaseNotes]     DERBY-1491    Provide ALTER TABLE 
functionality to change a column's default value
[generateReleaseNotes]     DERBY-1130    Client should not allow 
databaseName to be set with setConnectionAttributes
[generateReleaseNotes]     DERBY-729    Scalar time and date functions 
return 0 instead NULL when argument is NULL
[generateReleaseNotes]     DERBY-688    Enhancements to XML 
functionality to move toward XPath/XQuery support...
[generateReleaseNotes]     DERBY-415    sysinfo with -cp client option 
should not print error saying DB2 jar file and driver class are missing
[generateReleaseNotes]     DERBY-119    Add ALTER TABLE option to change 
column from NULL to NOT NULL

Regards,
