Release Notes Scratchpad for 2019.10

TODO

• Release notes (see below)
• Count PRs with "Reviewed" tags

Reminders for text to include in release notes

See PR #12503. From my comment on that PR:

So let me make sure I understand. The issue is a compiler error on a test, and we're just now seeing this because we're using a modern TI toolchain? If so, I don't see running tests with this toolchain on a released version as something worth a backport.

See PR #12486. irq_handler module is likely to be deprecated in favor of a more comprehensive mechanism. Original PR below:

#10555 sys: single interrupt handler thread for interrupts in modules with blocking functions

See PR #12565, a pre-existing packet buffer issue discovered during testing.

Generating release notes

Get list of PRs for release:

$ hub pr list -s "merged" -b "master" -L 6000 -f "%Mt %t QQQ%L%n"

Copy and paste to pr-final-raw.txt. For some reason, the command above won't include labels when direct output to a file.

Next, exclude all PRs not for the release:

$ grep 2019.10 pr-final-raw.txt |sort >pr-final.txt

Use editor to cut the milestone title from all lines.
