New description:
leif suggested at #9433 that we add two files to SAGE_ROOT:
- a file containing release notes
- a file VERSION.txt containing the version number
Perhaps the release notes could be produced using mvngu's
[http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/mvngu/apps/rnotes/ rnotes script]
(also available at [http://bitbucket.org/mvngu/rnotes/]. We could in fact
(with his permission) include that script with Sage, and then run it as
part of the sage-sdist script. It might be better to not automate its
creation, though.
The file VERSION.txt could at the very least just read from
devel/sage/sage/version.py. Should it contain just the version number and
the date? Whether it's a source or binary distribution? Whether it's
been upgraded from an earlier version?
