From 36e56a4e54df2cc937a99b2019917d7f4244cfb8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kathy Lussier Date: Thu, 5 Jan 2017 13:55:49 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Docs: 2.11 Release Note corrections and clarifications. Fixes several typos in the 2.11 Release Notes and in the template for release notes acknowledgements. Also resets the acknowledgements as TODOs for the next release. Added clarification to the email checkout receipts to let users know that email receipts are not available in the XUL client, but only in the web client.
