Hello Christoph,

We are collecting notes in Collaborate at 

https://collaborate.kde.org/s/FeojYtRp2Z68mGB

At the moment there is not much there. If you are making notes of changes 
somewhere else, we will be happy to go and copy them over so we can include 
them in the announcement.

Cheers

Paul
