I think screenshots might help a lot in creating more appealing Release Notes. Often, screenshots from the PR can be reused. And we can always encourage people to attach screenshots in PRs when relevant.

Although this is also how we (OK, mainly Geertjan! :-) ) highlight things on the download pages, blog posts, social media posts, etc. Compare eg. https://netbeans.apache.org/download/nb120/index.html and https://netbeans.apache.org/download/nb16/ The former was definitely becoming burdensome, but the latter is possibly not enough. > FlatLAF update PR quietly introduces a new theme (highlight label worthy): > https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/5298 ... > (some?)

Tell me about it! That's kind of the issue, along with grouping, where maybe the highlight label is not the right way to do this?
