Comment(by kcrisman):

 Replying to [comment:29 leif]:
 > I'd also like to have a {{{VERSION.txt}}} in {{{SAGE_ROOT/}}}, best
 containing just the "plain" version number (perhaps only with also the
 release date added); cf. #9434 (the number is a coincidence!).
 That's a good idea.  Be sure not to hold this one up too long ;)
 > What about release notes (in the top-level directory)?
 That definitely used to be in this directory, filename `HISTORY.txt`.
 Maybe it was getting long?  It certainly got out of date quickly.  It
 might be an onus on the release manager to create the notes *before* the
 release is made, though - usually that takes a little time, and then it
 somehow gets added to the official version at sagemath.org (and a few
 other places?).  The problem is that this isn't fully automated yet.
