Here is a draft of the release notes based mostly on @stain's list: https://galenaylor.wordpress.com/2016/02/01/draft-taverna-language-release-notes-2/
@Stian, I'm a little confused because some of the information seems to apply to more than Taverna Language. (See comments and questions in document.) I also noticed in that Menaka's readme refers to the tavlang tool (or whatever we end up calling it) as a "planned" part of Taverna Language and as a GSOC "work in progress." These probably need to be changed to reflect that is is finished and being released? "This is planned as a command line for the Apache Taverna Language, an API for the Apache Taverna workflows. This module is a work in progress as part of Google Summer of Code 2015."
