Document Name: Release Management whitepaper, Adoption committee approved draft

---

Description
The new release management domain in DITA 1.3 should prove to be a welcome
addition for technical documentation departments seeking a solution for the
problem of producing accurate release note content. As content is intended
to be added at the topic and map level as it is being written, technical
writers no longer have to rely on memory alone to document the major
changes of a release. The date and time information embedded in the release
management content allows for scripts to programmatically select only those
comments that are pertinent to a given release, while still keeping
information about all successive significant changes over the development
of a product. Additional, optional information relating to bug tracking
systems, the change requesters, and related information allows for tie-ins
to external systems, and for authors to easily determine the source of
significant changes. In short, the release management domain provides a
convenient process for automatically and reliably handling release-specific
information.
