I've just committed RELNOTESng to 5-CURRENT.  If you missed the earlier 
discussions on these lists, RELNOTESng is the rewrite and restructuring 
of FreeBSD's *.TXT documentation files into DocBook.

All of the files live under src/release/doc, and src/release/doc/README
has more information.  As far as I know, the contents of the RELNOTESng
files are up-to-date with respect to 5-CURRENT's *.TXT files.  
Eventually the *.TXT files will go away.

There are a few outstanding issues remaining, but I decided to commit 
these files anyways, because having them in the repository will greatly 
facilitate fixing them:

1.  The alpha hardware list (used to be src/release/texts/alpha/
HARDWARE.TXT) does not have all of its DocBook markup yet.

2.  The hardware list generated for the alpha from the
architecture-independent files is still i386-centric.  It's better than
the old src/release/texts/HARDWARE.TXT, but there's a lot of work left
to go.  Wilko Bulte and I will be working to fix this.

3.  Several people have brought forth the idea to make the release notes
for 5-CURRENT (and 4-STABLE, when applicable) automatically built and
Web-accessible. Dima Dorfman volunteered to help make this happen.

Thanks to everyone who gave comments...they were most helpful!

Bruce.
