We need to go through the changes which were tagged for release notes 
[1]. Generally this means anything with the UpgradeImpact tag but can 
also mean things with DocImpact.

Here are the commits in liberty that had the UpgradeImpact tag:

Remember that DocImpact changes may or may not need to be mentioned in 
the release notes, but I include them here because a lot of the time 
people use DocImpact thinking that the docs team will know if that 
should be in the release notes or manuals or API docs.
