Lets get this started! Contributors, please send me one or two English sentence for each major feature that you principally worked on, describing the feature. This would be all features since October. I will compile this into the release notes. I will also link the Jira generated release notes to be exhaustive <https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?version=12341279&styleName=&projectId=12319020&Create=Create> .
I need them no later than Wednesday 8/23/2017. You can skip bugs unless you think them noteworthy. Multiple sentences might be appropriate for some features. Send them either to this list or to me directly. thanks, david.
