[bitbake-devel] BitBake release notes

[Andrew Featherstone]

Thanks, Alex. Are the Yocto Project release notes the de-facto release
notes? From version 1.16 onwards it seems that releases go up by 2 at a
time in the minor version; why is this? The current version of the BitBake
User Manual [1] offers little insight here.
