Pending release notes directory

This directory contains release note entries that have not been merged into the main release-notes.md document.

Generally a release note entry should be created for changes that:

• Fix bugs in the code.
• Implement new features.
• Change existing behavior.

Release notes are generally not needed for:

• Some documentation improvements.
• Strictly internal changes to the code that won't be visible to users of the code.

Release note format

Release notes are included in files under this docs/release-notes.d directory and have a name of *.md. They will be included in the release-notes.md file, and should be formatted as a Markdown list entry. (A script will be developed to collect these, ordered by when the commits were added to the tree.)

Choose a filename that is related to what this change does. The names are not used for anything in particular, but to keep the files distinct so that there isn't a concern with merge conflicts as different pull requests merge in different orders.
