I as a reader would want to see a summary of what is in the release, where and how to get it, and what to do with it once I have it. The same information would go into the appropriate pages in the help docs. I can do a rough cut based on what I see in the README files, unless somebody with more knowledge wants to do the first draft.
On that front, here is a naive reader's question: I see lots of instructions in the README about compiling Royale, as if that were something I would always have to do. Then, almost as a throw-away, I see notes about the already-compiled binaries. Does EVERYBODY download and build Royale for themselves? I would have thought your average app-builder would start with the compiled binaries and just want to know how to reference them from the IDE of choice. a On Mon, Jan 29, 2018 at 2:25 PM, Piotr Zarzycki <[email protected]> wrote: > Carlos, > > I'm not sure what to write in the "Release" section here [1].
