Disclaimer
----------

This release note does not "release for production", as it does not come with a safety
argumentation and a performed safety assessment.
The work products compiled in the safety package are created with care according to a
process satisfying standards, but the project, being a non-profit and open source
organization, can not take over any liability for its content.

Changes to the Module

elements

Module Templates removed from Folder Templates and
(https://eclipse-score.github.io/process_description/main/folder_templates/index.html)
