I have waded back through the "svn" list of changes to find
stuff that we forgot to mention in our changes list [1].
This is done now i think.

As explained in or release procedure [2] doing
localhost:8888/releaseNotes_0.9-dev.txt 
lists the entries that are marked as "important".
This will provide the content for our release notes.

Of course if anyone finds anything missing then please say or fix.

   ----------

Looking back at the dev mail list from around the last release
early April 2007, we had troubles due to some plugins not
being deployed properly, even though a lot of work was done
with plugin deployment during the lead-up to release.

We need to at least re-deploy the plugins that are used by the
"seed-sample" site, by "build test", and by our site-author docs.
