{Documentation} Updated SW Release Notes with posts from Aria Studio …

…and MCA

Summary: I transferred two Workplace posts regarding the updates to Aria Studio and the Mobile Companion App to the Release Notes section. I kept pretty much everything as it was in the posts, even when I noticed typos and other such errors. I can change them later if necessary.

+## **Announcing Aria Research Kit v1.11!**
+
+December 9, 2024
+
+### Aria Studio v1.0.1: Now on Windows, plus some other nice features
+
+Aria Studio is a modern desktop application with a browser-based UI that helps you manage recordings from your Aria glasses, access Machine Perception Services, and visualize egocentric data. We released a beta version of Aria Studio at CVPR this year with support for Mac and Linux. Today, we are releasing [Aria Studio v1.0.1](aria_studio.mdx), which extends our OS support to include Windows. Aria Studio is now available as a downloadable 1-click installer package in addition to the previously available pip install method. Another new feature includes the ability to submit feedback to the Aria team directly in the application and a section where the Aria team will publish news program updates and important information in the home tab.
+
+### Updates for the MPS CLI and the Mobile Companion App
+
+This release also brings the Aria Machine Perception Services Command Line Interface (MPS CLI) to Windows. Download or update your installation of [Project Aria Tools](../data_utilities/installation/installation_python.mdx) on your Windows machine to use the MPS CLI to submit your recordings to Aria Machine Perception Services. Coming soon, we will release v195 of the Aria Companion App on mobile, featuring a new section on the home tab where you can stay up-to-date with the latest news and updates from the Aria team.
+
+### Deprecation Plan for Aria Desktop App
+
+For those still using the Aria Desktop App: Today, we are announcing a deprecation plan for the Aria Desktop App. We are no longer onboarding new users to the Desktop App and will shut off the ability to request MPS from the Desktop App on May 30th, 2025. Now with support for Windows, Aria Studio fully replaces the functionality of the Desktop App. Please switch over to Aria Studio as soon as possible and reach out to ariaops@meta.com if you have any questions about the transition.
+
+### Feedback and Support
+
+If you encounter any problems using ARK v1.11, please contact us. There are several ways for getting user support.
+
+* Post to Academic Partners Feedback and Support workplace group
+
+* Post to Project Aria Discord
