I decoupled it into its own thread since announcement threads are not suited for discussions.

The notes itself are just a markdown file which we sometimes manually adjust, so if anything needs to be highlighted it could be done there directly. We had the concept of the "highlight" PR tag but it didn't work since nobody used it. Do you want to highlight anything in particular about the last NB25 release? > That means the email needs to say that the release just contains the > usual sort of changes if that's all it does contain. > It needs to give a brief flavour of the release so the reader knows if > they need to look in more detail. not sure if this would work very well for IDEs like NB. It is difficult to pick release highlights there since so much changes over a very wide field. It is quicker for users to jump to the release note category they are interested in and check if there is anything they like. Release managers do have a lot of tasks already this would just come on top of it which isn't ideal. Mails in general are not ideal there since they can't be updated, if someone wants to mention a particular PR and the mail is already sent its too late. We are actively trying to reduce release management tasks, since releasing an IDE isn't easy and quite time consuming. -mbien >> On CVE would be more insisting of course. >> >> >> Best Regards >> Eric >> >> -----Message d'origine----- >> De : sebb <seb...@gmail.com> >> Envoyé : samedi 22 février 2025 00:29 >> À : Eric Barboni <sk...@apache.org> >> Cc : dev@netbeans.apache.org >> Objet : Re: [ANNOUNCE] Apache NetBeans 25 Released >> >> On Fri, 21 Feb 2025 at 20:52, Eric Barboni <sk...@apache.org> wrote: >>> The Apache NetBeans team is pleased to announce that Apache NetBeans 25 was >>> released on February 20, 2025. >> What is Netbeans? >> >> Readers of the general announce list may not have a clue. >> It would help to provide a short paragraph as to what Netbeans is. >> >>> What's in the Apache NetBeans 25 release: >>> https://github.com/apache/netbeans/releases/tag/25 >> The above list is rather long - what are the most important changes? >> Are there any security fixes or major changes that require users to upgrade? >> >>> With thanks to 26 contributors, including 3 who have contributed for the >>> first time.
