This thread has morphed a bit, and I think a summary may be useful at this time.

It started with Keith pointing out, correctly, that I was taking a short cut by starting the vote before all the relevant bugs had been marked "Fixed", although after I was sure they were all fixed in reality. That aspect was quickly resolved by Ariel updating the bugs in question. All 4.1.3 release blocker bugs are now marked as fixed.

It then shifted into a discussion of what should be in the release notes. There are three classes of Bugzilla issues involved:

1. Fixes affecting the behavior of binaries. Listing these in the release notes is non-controversial.

2. Administrative changes, changing the release number in various places.

3. Fixes to the build systems. Because of the year time lapse since 4.1.2, there was an accumulation of issues that affect building in various environments.

The question was how to handle the second and third classes. They are uninteresting, and in some cases incomprehensible, to the vast majority of AOO users. The plan is to only mention "interesting" bugs directly in the release notes, but include the URL for a Bugzilla query that shows all the fixes.
