INTRODUCTION
============

This purpose of this document is to contain entries that can be used to quickly
produce a release newsletter. When something is added to the library that is
"newsletter worthy" (i.e., new feature, CVE fix, etc.) a summary note should
be added here.

The format should look like this:

* SUMMARY OF NEWSLETTER-WORTHY THING

    Here is where you describe the summary. Summarize the feature, fix, or
    change in general language. Remember, RELEASE.txt is for communicating
    technical specifics. Text entered here is more like advertising.

    (GitHub #123, #125)

The GitHub #s could be relevant issues or PRs. They will probably not appear
in the final newsletter, but are so that the person writing the newsletter
has easy access to context if they have questions.

Every entry in RELEASE.txt does NOT require an entry here. The newsletter is
for communicating major changes that are of interest to anyone. Minor bugfixes,
memory leak fixes, etc. do not require entries.

    Configuration:
    -------------
* Deprecated and removed old SZIP library in favor of LIBAEC library

    LIBAEC library has been used in HDF5 binaries as the szip library of choice
    for a few years. We removed the options for using the old SZIP library. All
    current szip and libaec options only work for building the libaec library.
