Yep that’s why I introduced that {{releasenotechanges}} indeed :)

It’s probably not very clear but at 
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Release+Notes+Application/#HPrerequisites26InstallationInstructions
 there’s an explanation about how to install a Demo application using the 
Release Notes app.

Could you try installing it and see if it helps?

Good point. I haven’t implemented support for multilanguage release notes. You 
could open a jira at http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/RN (and provide a pull 
request if you know how to do that :)).

The template can be configured (see 
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Release+Notes+Application/#HConfiguration)
 but this won’t work to dynamically decide what template to use based on 
various parameters.

ATM of you want to do this, you’ll need to modify a page: 
ReleaseNotes.Code.HomeExistingReleaseNotes and modify the following lines:

#set ($configDoc = $xwiki.getDocument("${topSpace}.Code.ReleaseNotesConfig"))
#set ($defaultProduct = $configDoc.getValue('product'))
#set ($defaultTemplateReferenceString = $configDoc.getValue('template'))

If you compute the reference to the doc you wish to use as template in the 
variable $defaultTemplateReferenceString the rest should work fine.

Thanks
