> We could do a better job of generating useful release notes.  As a first step, I suggest we follow Lucene's lead and add html formatting to our CHANGES.txt.  An example output is here:
> http://hudson.zones.apache.org/hudson/view/Lucene/job/Lucene-trunk/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/trunk/build/docs/changes/Changes.html
> This should then be included with our release documentation that is published on the website for each release.
> After this is committed, the next step is for committers to agree on a CHANGES.txt convention that will flag major features/improvements (such as a well placed *).  Then the flagged Jira's can be further highlighted when generating the html.
> Thoughts?
