4.5 Release Notes (1st draft)

Hi all, here is a first-draft of release notes for 4.5. I combed
through every MC version of every package since 4.4 release to
identify everything we've accomplished.

http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/6193

Quite a list huh? 4.5 has turned out to be a great release!

If I missed anything, please feel free to add it.

Note that this is only a hot fix by me so that Metacello works.
It is not actually a Standard-conforming HTTP-301 handling, it does
not work for relative urls.
We should sort this out...

Ok, I took that section out. If it gets sorted before release we can
put it back.

Seconded - it's a whole pile of work to try summarise hundreds of
commit messages. Tiresome, and underappreciated. Thanks, Chris!

Re: 4.5 Release Notes (1st draft)

:-) Thanks guys and I want to say, "thanks" back to Colin and most
everyone else over the last week+ for how we've really put getting 4.5
done, into our focus. Let's see if we can sprint to the finish by
31-Jan!
