Remove release-notes

[joshaber]

Since it’s been reporting the wrong release notes, it’s doing more harm than good 😞

We’ll link to the release notes from About now.

/cc @atom/feedback

I'll back port this onto stable once it's merged.

Refs (and should close) #10055.

Is this going to change the update flow at all? (Like, will there now be no status bar squirrel indicating a new version's available / been installed, for instance?)

This. I think the status bar squirrel is done in the release notes package, but that logic could move to the about package.

Also should close #5692

Or perhaps the status-bar package itself?

👍 I like this idea.

[simurai]

There is also atom/about#5, so the about package would fit too in case that direction will move forward.

[joshaber]

Ah, good point @simurai. I'll go with about then 👍

[joshaber]

Once this goes green I'll merge and cherry-pick it into stable so it can go out in 1.4.0.

[benogle]

Cool 👍

cherry-pick it into stable

beta?

[joshaber]

cherry-pick it into stable

beta?

Yeah or that. Basically the same AFAICT since they'll both be rolled into 1.4.0.

[joshaber]

Looks like the about specs are hanging on janky for some reason.

[joshaber]

Well, it passed on janky-osx4 and Travis so it seems to be a problem specific to janky-osx2.
