As I remember correctly Release Notes for 3.4, 3.4.1 and 4.0.0 were
pretty much free style. Version 4.0 was a major release with big
enhancements, top of the list was the introduction of the side bar. In
the context of a major Release the statements that you reference made
sense as it was a major change to the UI.

Somewhere between 4.0.0 and 4.0.1 I developed the Template the we
currently use to generate release notes to give a consistent look and
feel as to where to find pertinent information.

I believe the information is covered, just in other sections of the
notes. However I am always open to suggestions on what could be added or
changed.

Regards
Keith
