[Ns-developers] Ns-3.2 Release Candidate 1 Posted

[Mathieu Lacage]

I would like to suggest the following set of changes to the
RELEASE_NOTES file to be consistent with the format used for ns-3.1 and
to be more focused on user-visible changes (API changes are already
documented in CHANGES.html so, I see little point in repeating them
here).
