Description

I propose that we remove the CHANGES.txt file for the following reasons:

• It's a headache to maintain.
• It contains a lot of errors.
• It's redundant since this information is available in JIRA and via source control.
• The RELEASE_NOTES.txt file now contains the same information auto-generated by JIRA. We should update this file as part of the release process instead of updating CHANGES.txt on every commit.
