The release notes [1] from the latest release announcement [2] included a long list of all the JIRA’s associated with the release. Having a curated list that highlights the most interesting changes would make the release more approachable and easy to understand.
What do you think about providing a short release description in addition to the JIRA issues list? Check out [3] for an example of doing this in the wiki. We could also link to release notes from the releases [4] page.
