[svn-r3438]

Description:
    Removed "Limitations of This Release" section, which was really
        designed for the early releases when we didn't yet have full
        functionality.
    Replaced the "Changes in the Current Release" section with pointers
        to ADGuide/RELEASE.txt and ADGuide/Changes.html.
    Corrected reference to H5Dget_vlen_buf_size to read H5Dvlen_get_buf_size.
Platforms tested:
    IE 5
