Now that change notes are per-package, new change notes should be created in the `change-notes` folder under the affected pack (e.g., `cpp/ql/src/change-notes` for C++ query change notes. I've moved all of the change note files that were added before we started publishing them in packs to an `old-change-notes` directory under each language, to reduce the temptation to add new change notes there.
I'm working on a document to describe how and when to create change notes for packs separately.
