+# A script to open/autostart the release notes in the help
+# handbook, but only once.
+
+# Run this script from the global autostart directory.
+
+# When the release version increments, this script will detect the
+# difference through tde-config and a respective key in kdeglobals.
+# This script then will open the release notes for that next release.
+# The only file to update is: tdebase/doc/releasenotes/release_notes.docbook.
+
+# As this script is run as a global TDE autostart app, all
+# environment variables should already be set.
