first rev of 10.6 release notes now ready for review

Please review the 10.6 release notes. You can browse them here: 
https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/db/derby/code/trunk/RELEASE-NOTES.html?view=co

Please let me know how I can improve the release notes. In particular:

1) Are there missing features which we should describe in the "New 
Features" section?

2) Are there fixed bugs which don't appear in the "Bug Fixes" section? 
If so, please first try to understand why those bugs don't appear in the 
filter which I used to create this list: 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?mode=hide&requestId=12314104

3) Are there bugs which need detailed release notes? If so, please first 
try to understand why those bugs don't appear in the filter which I used 
to create that list: 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?mode=hide&requestId=12314103

4) Are there other problems with the release notes?

I would like to compile a list of defects by 5:00 pm San Francisco time 
on Wednesday April 21. On Thursday morning I will regenerate the release 
notes for a second review.

Thanks,
-Rick

Thanks, Kim. This is something which the release notes generator should 
handle. I will look into this.

Thanks,

I think in some cases the bugs list may include some that were actually 
fixed in 10.5.3. This seems to be the case, for instance, with 
DERBY-1923 and DERBY-3737, both of which specify both 10.5.2 and 10.6 as 
their fix releases for some reason. Is this something I should check and 
fix in my JIRAs, or can the release-notes-generating algorithm be 
modified for these cases?

Thanks for these helpful comments, Knut. Some responses inline...

I'll try that.

Hi Rick,

The release notes look fine to me. Thanks for putting them together!
Some minor comments below.

This filter lists all resolved and closed bugs, including invalid bug
reports and duplicates. Would the list be more accurate if we filtered
on Resolution=Fixed instead of Status=(Resolved or Closed)?

> 4) Are there other problems with the release notes?

- Under New Features, CROSS JOIN, it says "See features F401-04 of the
SQL Standard". It should be "feature" (singular) since F401-04 refers to
sub-feature 04 (CROSS JOIN) of feature F401 (Extended joined table).

- The summaries of the notes for DERBY-4312 and DERBY-4191 contain
details that would be better moved to the symptoms and incompatibilities
sections. If we could make the summaries one-liners, the short list on
top might become more readable.
