Got any ideas? :-) If the release notes have a build procedure that resembles anything like that of any of the other docs (and I suspect this is the case), adding it would be trivial.

AIUI the complaint was that someone would now need the docproj port to see the release notes if they're tracking -stable. Someone tracking -stable probably has a good enough connection to view a web page. > Note that this is a fairly new capability...we currently don't have a > link for -CURRENT or 4-STABLE release notes.

Of course. If we're building the web site we have a doc/ (there's an option not to build docs, but assume we have it). I guess it would simply involve a way to set the path to src/release, and run make in that if it exists.
