Release notes
Also called: Changelog, What's new
A short list of what changed, what was fixed and the known issues in a build.
Definition
Release notes tell testers what to retest and where to look for regressions. Reading them first is the start of every new-build routine.
In practice
Build 318's notes list the fix for BUG-412, so you retest it first, then run a smoke test.
