We're trying to keep just the bare minimum info, as we really would like to not have the list of commits, and mainly the list of new contributors, trucated from the release notes. Signed-off-by: Fabiano Fidêncio <fabiano.fidencio@intel.com>

Release tools
update-repository-version.sh
This script creates a GitHub pull request (a.k.a PR) to change the version in the Kata repository.
For more information on using the script, run the following:
$ ./update-repository-version.sh -h
Update Kata projects to a new version
To update project version for Kata Containers, use the following:
# Set to the required version
$ new_version="a.b.c"
$ make bump-kata-version NEW_VERSION="${new_version}"
The makefile target bump-kata-version creates a GitHub pull request in the
kata-containers repository. The pull request is tested by the Kata CI to ensure the
entire project is working prior to the release. Next, the PR is approved and
merged by Kata Containers members.
tag_repos.sh
After Kata Containers repository is updated with a new version, it needs to be tagged.
The tag_repos.sh script is used to create tags for the Kata Containers repository.
The script creates an annotated tag for the new release version.
