The release notes are built automatically as part of the global release build process. You can also build them directly by changing to the src/release/doc directory and doing a "make". You'll need to have the docproj packages/ports installed in order to build them. Just to keep waving the flag: the release is not yet finalized or out, so things may yet change. The current contents should be considered a working draft, not the final version, until it's actually out the door and announced. We've had to delay releases at this point in the cycle before due to last minute discoveries or issues, and while I hope it doesn't happen this time around, we can't rule it out! Robert N M Watson
