New release note conventions

[Rick Hillegas <Ri...@Sun.COM>]

I haven't heard any objections to the following proposal. I'm going to 
treat this as the community's lazy consensus unless I hear objections by 
6:00 am San Francisco time this Friday (May 4). Please see DERBY-2570 
for the motivation behind these conventions:

1) For JIRAs which need a release note, you should turn on the "Release 
Note Needed" flag and attach a file called "releaseNote.html".

2) The template for releaseNote.html will live in 
tools/release/templates/releaseNote.html. I have attached it to this 
mail message.

3) As you improve the wording of your release note, you simply attach a 
new version of releaseNote.html. The release documentation will include 
the last version of the release note.

Regards,
-Rick
