For reference, the release generator script can generate a diff for you if you pass the previous version as an extra parameter. Comes in handy for these point releases!
Actually, the release generator (100 lines of shell script) does not support a previous version parameter, rather it tries to guess what the branch name of the previous release was, based on the supplied current version, using three perl one-liners and two tr calls. It doesn't understand release candidates, only stable releases.
Whoops, I must have made it too smart for its own good... ;)
I vote for rewriting the whole thing in a proper language (i.e. anything except shell script).
Shell script usually sounds good for the first 10 lines, then turns into hell. ;) Please do...
