Write release notes for 4.5~rc1
Originally created by @CyrilBrulebois on #17558 (Redmine)
Hi,
I’m not sure this ticket is really a duplicate of #17303 (closed), but as far as I understood what we wanted to do, it shouldn’t be…
It was pointed out by my fellow RMs that we would need some help from technical writers for the 4.5~rc1 announcement (that we would usually just quickly copy/sed from the previous one, without involving you), as this release candidate contains a lot of important changes.
I’ve just pushed a doc/changelog-4.5-rc1
branch with a draft changelog
entry (that I must confess I haven’t entirely proofread yet), so that
you can benefit from a head start on the release announcement writing
front. Feel free to let me know if you edit the changelog in that
branch, so that I can merge improvements/fixes back into the proper
branch(es) when I’m reaching the relevant point of the release process.
(Full disclosure: I wasn’t convinced what I had been doing with the
devel
/@testing@ branches was right, so I need to do some more homework
before resuming the release process; hopefully having the changelog
around means you can start without me.)
Also, @anonym wanted to help you, and this draft was started → https://pad.riseup.net/p/kYQ9G0VIFniAsfK5ADnW
Given the current status, I’m assuming images might be available during the European evening, so we might be looking at a publication somewhen Friday afternoon.
