Hi there!

The form in EIS to enter a featuremail has become an additional text 
field for entering text that should go into the WhatsNew Information of 
ReleaseNotes for releases and developer snapshots.

The column "spec abstract" in the WhatsNew Table of the release notes 
has been renamed to description. This column will contain the text 
entered into the new field in EIS if present. If no special text was 
entered in EIS the first paragraph of the abstract of the specification 
will be used. If no spec is available and no text was entered into the 
new field the description of the featuremail is being used.

Please limit yourself to one or two short sentences only when entering 
data for the new field.

You can also add this new data to featuremails which where already sent.

Just use the Menu entry "Changes Mails / FeatureList" in EIS and click 
on the pen on the right site of the table to edit the featuremail. Only 
the original poster of the featuremail and a limited set of users with 
special access rights can change this information.


Kind regards,
Bernd Eilers
