Actually, I always read the release notes, you learn things that often are never written up anywhere else.  Or, as in this case, when release notes also double as documentation for a new function -- sort of a mini pre-release of formal documentation to be updated.

I also always read the Preface of books, all books.  On some technical books, I peruse the index because often times there are little jewels of information hidden away in the index.  An index is not just a list of words referenced in the book -- it contains nifty cross-references and often times other terms that of related information.

And, when I read technical books (usually Physics and Math) I study the background of the author.  Sometimes, if Physics, I am reading some of their published papers (I am a member of APS primarily to gain access to physics research papers).

Yes, I do read release notes and many times I even print them out and include in my notebook collection of things about the Elecraft rigs.

P.S. I usually do not read the actual user documentation before trying out things though.  I need to get better at that.
