+1 Thanks Anthony for starting the Release Notes page, I think it is a step in the right direction.
I took a look at several other top-level projects and came across two styles that I liked: - Apache Brooklyn: http://brooklyn.apache.org/v/latest/misc/ release-notes.html - Apache Ivy: http://ant.apache.org/ivy/history/2.4.0/release-notes.html Brooklyn is the 'fancy' HTML-based and Ivy is the 'classic' text format, however, both show the highlights for the release. Maybe we can pick the top 3-5 feature/fixes/changes that can be included in the release announcement thread as well. --Mark On Sat, Oct 29, 2016 at 9:32 AM, Anthony Baker <aba...@pivotal.io> wrote: > I added a rudimentary release notes page [1] based on the information from > the release announcements and linked to it from the website [2]. > > @Everyone: feel free to jump in and improve the content. > > Thanks, > Anthony > > [1] https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/GEODE/ > Release+Notes#ReleaseNotes-1.0.0-incubating <https://cwiki.apache.org/ > confluence/display/GEODE/Release+Notes#ReleaseNotes-1.0.0-incubating> > [2] http://geode.apache.org/releases/ <http://geode.apache.org/releases/> > > > On Oct 27, 2016, at 3:13 PM, John Blum <jb...@pivotal.io> wrote: > > > > Yes, +1. > > > > Also, it doesn't hurt to list the significant/critical dependency updates > > in a subsection. > > > > -j > > > > On Thu, Oct 27, 2016 at 3:10 PM, Anthony Baker <aba...@pivotal.io> > wrote: > > > >> The release notes [1] from the latest release announcement [2] included > a > >> long list of all the JIRA’s associated with the release.
