Description

Whenever there is a new release for vscode-xml, maybe we could make a stripped-down version of the blog post and create release notes, similar to how the https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-java-pack provides release notes with gifs and explanations:

The release notes could appear whenever a new vscode-xml release happens and the user runs the new release for the first time. There could also be a preference that determines whether to automatically show release notes when running future releases for the first time. But, maybe automatically showing the release notes in the first place, might be too obstructive.

There could also be a command to view releases notes, like vscode-java-pack does:

Research direction

No repository files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing the proposed vscode-java-pack release-notes behavior and the current release process, then clarify whether first-run display, a preference, and a command are all required. Done should be defined as an agreed design and an implemented release-notes experience.
