This pull request introduces a new release notes document for the AGDR platform, specifically for the October 29, 2025 release. The document provides a comprehensive list of updated software versions across various system components and microservices, alongside a summary of key new features implemented in this release. The primary goal is to ensure clear and up-to-date documentation of system changes and enhancements.

• Version Updates: The release notes detail the current versions of various AGDR components, including Dictionary, Submission (sheepdog), Portal, NeSI internal helm chart, and numerous internal micro-services like indexd, fence, arborist, and postgres.

Code Review

This pull request adds a new release notes file. I've identified a few areas for improvement to ensure consistency and correctness. The main point is an inconsistency between the date in the filename and the date mentioned in the file's content. I've also suggested some minor formatting corrections to the service versions and the 'New and Improved' list to improve readability and ensure correct rendering. Please review the detailed comments.
