Hey Matt,

I thought about that, but i am not sure that the release notes is the 
right place to go into specifics. If they want to know specific about a 
new feature/functionality they should look for the appropriate 
documentation or ask the users list.

Disagree/Agree?

No other points in the release notes describe specifics or instructions.
