Actually, I always read the release notes, you learn things that often are 
never written up anywhere else.  Or, as in this case, when release notes also 
double as documentation for a new function -- sort of a mini pre-release of 
formal documentation to be updated.

I also always read the Preface of books, all books.  On some technical books, I 
peruse the index because often times there are little jewels of information 
hidden away in the index.  An index is not just a list of words referenced in 
the book -- it contains nifty cross-references and often times other terms that 
of related information.

And, when I read technical books (usually Physics and Math) I study the 
background of the author.  Sometimes, if Physics, I am reading some of their 
published papers (I am a member of APS primarily to gain access to physics 
research papers).

Yes, I do read release notes and many times I even print them out and include 
in my notebook collection of things about the Elecraft rigs.

P.S. I usually do not read the actual user documentation before trying out 
things though.  I need to get better at that.
