Thanks, Dan! I've grabbed Evergreen-ILS-2.6-alpha1.tar.gz and am about to give it a spin.

I know because I snuck it in before Dan cut the release earlier today. :-) I did a quick perusal of the output of "git log rel_2_5..master", and saw many bug fixes mixed with some new features that could benefit from release notes. Heck, I might even argue that some of the bug fixes could use release notes. Baby steps, perhaps. I also saw a large number of documentation additions and updates, which is really encouraging. Looks like credit here goes to Remington Steed, Angela Kilsdonk, Dan Scott (hi, Dan!), and Elliot Voris. Thanks, everybody! I have found the release notes increasingly useful, and I think it's worth putting effort into creating them. Thanks for raising the issue / pointed reminder. For my part, I've yanked my own pullrequest tag on one new feature, and will craft a release notes entry before restoring the tag. -jeff
