release-notes for Buster installer
Hi,
while translating the release-notes into German, I noticed that the content
for the installation system is still for Stretch.
I have prepared a first patch, to get that updated for Buster.
My proposal would be, to go for something like a "minimalistic approach" like
the following:
(which means skipping the 'Major changes' section, since I feel we have many
small changings, but not that much 'big deals'.
Only my personal opinion. Correct me if I'm wrong!)
<section id="inst-new">
<title>What's new in the installation system?</title>
<para>
There has been a lot of development on the Debian Installer since its previous
official release with &debian; &oldrelease;,
resulting in improved hardware support and
some exciting new features or improvements.
</para>
<para>
Most notably there is the initial support for UEFI Secure Boot, which has
been added to the installation images.

If you are interested in an overview of the detailed
changes since &oldreleasename;, please check the release announcements

Installer's <ulink url="&url-installer-news;">news history</ulink>.
