Hi Pulsarers, As we know[1], there are some issues in the current Pulsar release notes (RN), for example:
- For Pulsar users They cannot capture the highlights quickly since the RN is a raw dump of PRs. - For Pulsar release managers (RM) They feel overwhelmed by the **manual** workload of generating RN since it is created based on git commit messages, while many people do not provide clear and meaningful info. It’s time-consuming to clear up all info especially for a major release with lots of PRs. If RN is regarded as an afterthought and finished as a last-minute task, it is likely not written well. Instead of rushing, treating RN as a part of development not only reduces RM's workload and makes communication more coordinated, but also allows more time for us to choose the most valuable highlights shown to users. Consequently, the process of the current workflow should be improved. Therefore, I propose the PIP 112: Generate Release Notes Automatically [2] and add some initial thoughts and research there. It is only a draft but I would like to invite you to join us to bring another major change to Pulsar. I believe this would bring many benefits to all of us, thanks!
