Ok, so I took the liberty of updating 
https://wiki.apache.org/solr/ReleaseNote70 
<https://wiki.apache.org/solr/ReleaseNote70> with my changes
Note that the previous version of the release notes can still be found at 
https://wiki.apache.org/solr/ReleaseNote70?action=info 
<https://wiki.apache.org/solr/ReleaseNote70?action=info> for reference

Joel, look at the bullet I re-added about Math expressions, feel free to jump 
in and modify now that it is in the Wiki.

Cassandra, I totally agree about ref guide syncing and communicating one 
message.
Also the practice of listing some of the major features introduced in 6.x is a 
good thing.
If you have wording improvements to my summaries, please chime in, I’m not a 
technical writer :)

And please, I was serious about choosing 7 major features and not adding random 
single improvements. The list has already creeped from 7 to 9 bullets. If you 
want to add something, then ask youself which of the other bullets that are 
less important to MOST USERS and then replace that bullet instead of adding 
more. Agree?
