Add Release notes

@Ali González

What’s currently in 10 is part of Release Notes. Ali to make a first draft and share with @Kibuuka, Arnold

Review what should actually go in section 10

@Ali González @Kibuuka, Arnold

Section 10 is for reference materials related to the content of the specification. Ali and Arnold will meet to review what goes there.

Add use case or reference section 10 (perhaps in patch version)

@Ali González

Low priority but seems Payments WG has compiled very good materials in  Annex 4 Deliverables  we can go through those documents and see if they fit an additional use case section

2. Formatting changes

Section 1 - Version History
