I read through the release notes for Lazarus 1.0, which are comprehensive and well laid out. However there are a number of spelling and grammatical errors, and one or two inelegant English constructions. Since these release notes will be read and evaluated by many people who might never have bothered with earlier release notes, I thought it worth correcting the errors, although I realise it is now several days after the actual release.
In case it is thought useful, I attach a tidied-up version of the original.

Thanks. I'm not sure how to find the differences.
Do you have your original HTML page so a diff can be created?

The HTML is totally different.
I converted both to text, but the diff still shows a lot of formatting changes. I attached the diff.

I used LibreOffice to do the editing, and it may have mangled the HTML on saving. I'm not used either to editing HTML, or to producing and using diffs.
What would be a helpful next step? Could you supply the content as plain-text, and I will edit that and produce a diff? I did not want to edit the wiki as Graeme suggested, since I don't know if that is the original file, and anyway I think changes should be reviewed by one of the developers in case some rephrasing (say for clarity) inadvertently changes the meaning. Obviously I do not intend for that to happen, but any editing opens that possibility.
