Ok I have it in the wiki in its own section but I condensed it.  Feel free =
to edit further as you desire.

My take on release notes is that they mainly talk about new features/big ch=
anges, and if other things are mentioned, they are only mentioned briefly.

But if you think it's worth its own section, go for it.

Prior versions used the JVM default.  Both the locale & timezone now can be=
 specified using new optional parameters.  See https://issues.apache.org/ji=

>> 4. The "dataimport.properties" file, which holds the last indexed timest=
amp for use with delta imports, is now by default using the "root" locale. =
 This default can be overridden using the new <propertyWriter /> tag in dat=
a-config.xml.  Prior versions used the default JVM locale.  This is only of=
 concern if your default locale uses different DataFormatSymbols than the "=
root" locale and if your installation depends on these alternate symbols (f=
or instance if your RDMBS takes dates using your locale-specific date symbo=
ls). See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-4051

>> 5. The experimental DIHProperties interface has changed, and is now an a=
bstract class.  This will require code changes for anyone who has a custom =
DIHProperties.  Also note that future API changes with this class are possi=
ble in subsequent releases.  See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR=
-4051

>> 6. The Evaluator framework has received extensive refactoring.  Some cus=
tom evaluators may require code changes.  Specifically, public or protected=
 methods from the EvaluatorBag class have been moved to the Evaluator abstr=
act class that all Evalutators must extend.  See https://issues.apache.org/=
