I would encourage you (and yes, I know how it's difficult) to try to get 
a small team doing QA on your version. Only checking for their favorite 
features and give their feedback on them, hopefully they will be curious 
enough to try to discover what is new in the version.
For those who have dedicated lists, we have a list of new features 
located here :
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/3.6
Try to make some advertisement about these changes and ask for feedback 
directly on those new features, that will help you for the localization, 
but also for your documentation and for the marketing (you know when you 
make people curious, they tend to speak about those new things ;)
Again, I know how it's difficult to involve people in doing this small 
checks, but it can bring a lot to all of us, even checking very early 
for regressions.

Kind regards
Sophie
