Is there a way to generate release notes from Subversion comments? Basically, I would be happy if I could just grab the information that you see if you are viewing a magazine. But if I copy and paste from the journal into a text editor, I get a lot of other information that I do not want (lists of files changed with each revision).
You can use the CL client and run
svn log > log.txt
and you will receive journal messages without additional information.
you should check svn2cl , since you probably want to create these release notes between the two versions, where it will just redirect the journal to all messages - but may receive more of them than you actually want.
