High Level Overview of Change
This change removes the release notes from the codebase. Those interested in seeing the release notes of a new version can navigate to https://github.com/XRPLF/rippled/releases.
Context of Change
The release process is currently manual, requiring preparing the branch with the code to release, and merging it into the
master,release, anddevelopbranches. As part of the new release process we will start following, we will make more frequent releases and should no longer do so manually. To transition to an automated release flow, both the release notes and the BuildInfo.cpp version number should no longer be part of the codebase, as those currently require additional commits that then need to be synced across the branches. This PR is the one that removes the release notes; a separate PR will remove the version number and replace it by an alternative approach that can be automated.Type of Change
.gitignore, formatting, dropping support for older tooling)
