I enjoy the entire 496 page document that has a comprehensive index which makes it easy for me to locate change information on the subjects most important to me. I entirely appreciate the amount of time and effort it took those responsible to create this fine document. I wouldn't want to see less information in the release notes. I'm impressed that someone went to the effort to list all of the upstream URLs and have found that to be of great value to me. Besides, I don't know how anyone could create a document which would contain all the information that conforms to each individual's 10 minute attention span. Any document that short would certainly leave out information important to someone. FWIW, I can't remember the last time I printed a even a 10 page document. -- You are the only person to ever get this message.
