Hi all,

since quite some time, RELEASE_NOTES entries are generated by a cronjob from 
the CVS logs. This works as follows:

- a line in the log starting with [NEW] describes a new feature
- a line starting with [BUGFIX] or [FIX] marks a bugfix
- a line starting with [CHANGE] markes a change to an existing feature
- if you need several lines to describe a change, you can tag blocks. All 
lines starting with [NEW0] will describe one new feature, all lines with 
[NEW1] another feature, and so on.

However, it seems as if the cronjob deletes manually entered entries. The 
maintainers of the script should look into that.

Many regards,
Axel
