Build notes are required for every release, located at Releases/<app>_<version>/BuildNotes (eg [[Releases/Firefox_34.0b4/BuildNotes]], [[Releases/Firefox_33.0.2/BuildNotes]], [[Releases/Thunderbird_31.2.0/BuildNotes]]). A copy of the [[Releases/RelEngChecklist | Checklist]] should be copied in, so that work items can be marked off as they are completed. This makes handing-off releases between people more reliable.
