wohali commented on issue #1453: Cut 2.2.0 release URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/issues/1453#issuecomment-407286867 @janl you asked about my process for creating release notes - I wrote it up - maybe this will help you: ----------- Get a list of things to care about: `git show-branch --sha1-name master X.X.X|more` * use this to find common ancestor (very last thing in the output) * use this to make sure everything on X.X.X has been pulled fwd to master * use this to eliminate anything that "looks the same" on X.X.X branch and master * cannot use sha-1s because they will be different on each branch * research if there is a way to auto-validate cherry picked stuff? For each remaining commit on master: 1. use GH web UI to find the commit's related PRs or issues and write up something nice 1. sort by GH issue/PR number 1. any issues that merge without a useful GH/PR number should go either at the very top or bottom of the list, depending on importance of issue 1. do not explicitly list out things like Jenkins/Travis/rebar.config changes unless they are significant in some fashion Now do the same thing as above, but for documentation and fauxton. Pull out only the big-ticket items.
