As far as I understood, the release notes were not very explicit or complete (the list of impacted functions were missing) on this issue.

Recently I have encountered a problem with redhat migration: /usr/bin/X11/xwd was "moved" to /usr/bin/xwd. I have not found anything in the release note.

It is not enough to ask people to read the release notes, these release notes should be complete and usable.

The point is that the release notes will tell you if there are security flaws fixed.

There's no substitute for actually testing your code with a new environment before deploying it.
