Binh-Minh Ribler 89f9d69d8d Documentation clean-up
Description:
    - Rearranged public/non-public functions relative to the
      DOXYGEN_SHOULD_SKIP_THIS blocks to display them correctly in the RM
    - Moved internal comments outside of the \brief blocks so they will
      not be displayed in the RM
    - Updated RELEASE.txt about the changes in PR#466
Platforms tested:
    Verified document on Windows 10.
    Linux/64 (platypus)
    Darwin (osx1010test)
