A couple of us have been scratching our heads about the meaning of release notes
vs. updates. I have seen errata included with a document at the time of
shipment which includes changes that occurred after the piece went to press.
Are there working definitions of updates/release notes? Are they the same
thing?
I've never done release notes myself and I am curious? Thanks!
