IIRC, the release notes are right next to the download on ADC. They
are
readable BEFORE downloading.
And since a preview doesn't appear in the automatic Software Update
utility, it's not possible to download the preview without seeing the
adjacent release notes.
Perhaps you thought they were also included in the download, which
is quite
reasonable.
You should check that they aren't on the downloaded dmg. They
usually are,
either as a separate document next to the installable package, or as
an
item presented early in the installation process. I could tell you,
but
then I'd have to kill myself.
