Release Notes

Here we draft the release notes for the next release.

Note: format is [summary] [commit hash or PR#] [author(s)]

Use the release notes helper script to generate the preliminary list. Then group the changes and review the descriptions and look out for ????

Mostly the first line of the commit line is a good summary, but please think through each entry and (re)write a summary that helps users quickly determine if this change would be interesting/useful to them. For example, include the name of the intrinsic/function in the summary so that users don't have to click through each commit themselves.
