Package: release-notes
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Hi!

Upgrading to Jessie introduces a major upgrade to Kontact, the KDE E-mail,
Calendar and Addressbook component. This major upgrade can need manual
intervention by users in some circumstances and it would be appropriate to
document this in the release notes.

The attached patch is a firat attempt to add this to the release notes. The
patch and the wiki page to which it directs weere prepared in collaboration
with #debian-qt-kde.

cheers
Stuart
