It Depends. <LOL>

Does your company include smarmy "Thank You for purchasing this wonderful
product" text in its documents? If so, continue the tradition and apologise The
tone of each of you company's documents should continue in the same spirit as
before.

I'd think though that there are different pieces of documentation that should
accompany your new release. The release notes/installation guide/manual should
all just stick to the facts. A cover letter explaining the release,
appologising, and perhaps underlining your company's commitment to the customers
may be a nice touch if it doesn't smell too much of overbearing marketing.
