Re: Bug#780573: release-notes: Review from the d-i team



Hello, 

Dixit Niels Thykier, le 16/03/2015 :

>I am contacting you to do a final review of the release-notes for the
>d-i related topics (as listed on [1]):

Here are some items I think it's important to highlight, taken from d-i
release announces.
I tried to clean the page a bit and mark some old stuff as wheezy.
Please review because I'm not a native english, and I surely forgot
some important changes.
