Re: [DISCUSS] Spec changes in release notes

+1 to removing them. Would there be any appetite for making an Iceberg-Format repo that drives the website, holds docs, and where all specification changes are merged into? This way the Java implementation can be separated structurally from the specification changes.

The spec changes are released immediately when the voting happens and the PRs merged or when the specific spec version is finalized. There is no connection to the binary java releases there. Shall we stop including them in the java release notes? We can have a different page dedicated to the spec version changes/releases. Thanks, Peter
