Harsh J resolved HADOOP-1684.
-----------------------------
Resolution: Not A Problem
Release notes are now being compiled and an editorial pass is made over them
for every release as well. I believe these are at least 70% user friendly,
having once been a beginner and read the release notes from 0.19 -> 0.20. The
process is still done in the same way since, I believe.
I do not think this JIRA is valid anymore (may be cause of time, it was opened
in '07 when nutch hosted hadoop's links).
Thus, Not-a-problem (anymore).

> The problem with this is that JIRA's really not very user-friendly. Most of
> the Hadoop JIRA tickets describe the underlying cause, not the user exposed
> symptoms, so users who are nsidering a new release (say, looking for API
> changes) can't make head or tails of half of the tickets without being
> familiar with Hadoop internals.
