Yes, I’m looking into starting a series of posts on the forum periodically 
highlighting noteworthy changes as they go in, similar to what I’ve been doing 
for OpenHistoricalMap. These won’t technically be release notes, since this 
project uses a continuous deployment model.

Separately, some OSM-related projects [maintain running 
“changelogs”](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/) that are more like draft 
release notes. In principle, the document could be divided by month rather than 
release. In iD and related projects, we’ve been discussing the best way to 
manage these documents. iD’s changelog has gotten so long that GitHub sometimes 
breaks down trying to render it. Drafting updates at release time slows down 
the release process, sometimes by days, but the running changelog concept 
hasn’t really worked out either, since most contributors don’t bother writing 
their own blurbs (and there’s a whole issue around merge conflicts if they do).

All of this is to say: let’s start with high-level updates outside the repo for 
now, and see how it goes. Look for an announcement probably next week tied to 
this discussion. 🙂
