+1 for spelling it out. Looking through past release notes[1][2], we’ve typically left the context for the features press releases[3]. Now, as the beta press release (feature-explanation oriented) typically differs from the major version press release (use-case/context oriented), perhaps we could incorporate some of the elements from the beta press release into the “Major Features” section. It would be a departure from the release notes of recent memory, but perhaps it would be more helpful. Thoughts?
