the initial change was already made ad hoc in 10a75ab, in response to the recently introduced enforced redirects mapping that is supposed to keep stable URLs. due to the redirect mechanism's current limitation to locations within the same site (that is, either the Nixpkgs xor the NixOS manual), and the observation that noteworthy Nixpkgs changes tend to be self-contained, it seemed reasonable to introduce a seperate release notes document. it also has the advantage that users of only Nixpkgs don't have to deal with release notes that are only relevant for NixOS. the original change was already lossless for NixOS users, since the Nixpkgs release notes are appended to the NixOS release notes. this change moves the pre-existing Nixpkgs notes to the new dedicated page.

due to the redirect mechanism's current limitation to locations within
the same site (that is, either the Nixpkgs xor the NixOS manual), and
the observation that noteworthy Nixpkgs changes tend to be
self-contained, it seemed reasonable to introduce a seperate release
notes document. it also has the advantage that users of only Nixpkgs
don't have to deal with release notes that are only relevant for NixOS.
the original change was already lossless for NixOS users, since the
Nixpkgs release notes are appended to the NixOS release notes.
this change moves the pre-existing Nixpkgs notes to the new dedicated page.
thanks @infinisil for pointing out in #363755 (comment) that we didn't leave a paper trail!
