Author: gjb Date: Thu Feb 5 13:07:41 2015 New Revision: 278258 URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/278258 Log: MFC [1] r278115, r278116: r278115: Move the 'Upgrading from Previous Releases of FreeBSD' section to the top of the file, following the introduction. r278116: Overhaul the relnotes page to reorganize the sections. With the previous layout, the majority of the release notes were categorized under one main "What's New" section, which in addition to making the page difficult to parse relevant bits, also had a few rendering issues, such as 'Note' blocks visually not appearing as if they pertain to a particular change. This change removes the "What's New" section, integrating it with the introduction. In addition, each section now provides a brief description of its contents, broken down further into a subsection for each "topic", making it much easier to find a specific topic in the page. [1] This is a direct commit, not an MFC.
