I prefer the first option as well. What about changes in several branches,
are these to be specified for different versions (e.g. 1.6.1 and 1.7), or
are updates to minor releases supposed to apply to the next major release
implicitly? I prefer explicit notes.

This is new to me, I've always assumed that the releasenotes are compiled by
the release-team. Maybe these practices should be documented to guide new
developers.
