We can manually group the changes a bit better in the final release
notes - just like Laszlo did with the Editor category of NB 16. Since
its often that multiple PRs when taken together would create a
noteworthy change.
FlatLAF update PR quietly introduces a new theme (highlight label worthy):
https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/5298
Close whole documents list at once (by first time contributor):
https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/4792
Many fixes and updates in the Jakarta EE field. Some of them we could
manually move from the Java category to Enterprise.
Gradle 8 support + updates - Laszlo would know best what to highlight
Maven 3.8.7 bundled, better stacktrace handling in the output window,
mvnd output window fixes + basic dependency updater hint
(some?) PHP 8.2 support - but the PRs are already nicely grouped in that
category
...
but tbh as someone who is often going around and labels PRs, I am
already glad when they are labeled at all :)
I am not really thinking about release notes at this point in the dev cycle.

Hi,
Over the last week, I've noticed a number of end-user comments
critical of the release pages and the inability to pick out key
changes in releases. I think it's a valid point.
Some time ago we added a Highlight label intended for PRs so that
authors and reviewers could point out things for the release team and
the release notes generator to prioritise.
So far, this label has only ever been applied once, and we have
nothing for NB17. If you've authored or reviewed a PR that you think
deserves highlighting, please help us out by adding the label! Also,
feel free to add to add to meta-issues if easier (thinking the PHP
additions?).

If we can't make this work better for NB17 then I guess we have to
discuss a better approach for NB18+?
Thanks and best wishes,
Neil
