[Bf-docboard] wiki refactor: Release Notes

[mindrones]

Hi,

as a reference for 2.49:

This page
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Ref/Release_Notes/.map
gives the list of all the pages under "Release notes"

This page
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:Manual/.map
gives the list of pages under "Manual"

Hope this helps :)


Regards,
Luca
