I don't see e.g. mono in 11.1 Packages Added, so I suspect the list is out of date.
Yes, we have not updated the package lists for the test releases yet. We are working out a system so we can minimize or eliminate busy work. Reassigning to Packages beat writer Rahul -- can this be done most comfortably through the Wiki? Or is it time to get together some script magic and automate the creation of the list? We should be able to use Python to create an XML file automatically from some runs of the treediff.py, then insert that into the release-notes module.
Using the new treediff, I generated this list. We decided to drop the list of packages, versions, and changelogs from the release notes themselves. It did not provide enough context (such as what the old version was), had a high noise ratio (most changelogs messages were 'rebuilt'), and it was not the main information users have been seeking for. We are moving that information to a Wiki page and linking to it.
