How do you handle release notes for non-technical users?

As a user, I like release notes that tell me new features exists that I can explore, and/or tell me which user-facing bugs were fixed, so I can try using the feature again that I’ve been avoiding.

What I absolutely hate is the generic release note that seemed to come about with agile release schedules. Notes like, “bug fixes and performance improvements”, “Thanks for using , we make regular improvements to ensure your experience is top notch”, or “We update our app often to .”

This tells me nothing and makes me less likely to bother reading any release notes at all.
