There's already a separate widgets guide, which contains all of the 
explanatory information from the release notes, in more detail, and much 
more besides.  It's available in the "Guides" tab of the dictionary 
stack -- you're looking for the "Extending LiveCode" guide.  The bits on 
widgets in the release notes are just a summary (for people who haven't 
used LC8 before) and info on what's changed since earlier developer 
preview releases (for people who have).

BTW, Ali has done some work today on improving the layout and 
accessibility of the guides in the IDE.
