Answer / seshu
A release note is usually a brief summary of recent
changes, enhancements and bug fixes in a particular
software release. Once the product has been released to
production, Release notes is a complementary document which
delivered to the customer when a bug is fixed or an
enhancement is made to the product. They may be written by
a technical writer or any other member of the development
or test team.
Please correct me if it is wrong.

Answer / kiran
In out company we receive release notes when a new build
(appliction with fixes for the defects raised) is given for
testing. release notes generally consists of the following,
1. Screens or usecase that are ready for testing.
2. Defects ready for retesting (which are already raised).
3. Major known issues (so that these will not be raised as
defects).
etc. Release notes help a tester to know what to and what
not to test.
Correct me if im wrong.

Answer / anuradha
release not is prepared by developers , when any new
functionality is added in the product or bugs are fixed
which are reported by tester to developer during the
testing process .This is very useful while testing , we
concentrate on those parts & we understand which bug is
fixed and which is left because of priority of bug
