I've added the ReleaseNotes.Code.ReleaseNoteClass xobject to the 7.x - 10.x
summary pages.
Thanks,

Hi Caty,
If you think it’s important to see all RN for a cycle, we could implement
what I mentioned, ie a second LT showing only cycles (and thus introduce a
new xobject). Let me know what you think and whether it’s overkill or not?
Thanks

I really don’t see the need, could you explain?

Honestly this is overkill and I’m pretty sure that it’s ok for
users.They can type
“8.” for ex and even if that would match “6.4.8”, it’s
very much usable IMO.
Regarding RN for versions < 8.2, there’s already a RN Archives page here:
https://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/ReleaseNotes/Archives
So what you have put for 7.x, 8.x and 9.x is already a duplicate of what
we have
at
https://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/ReleaseNotes/Archives ;)
My only point is that we shouldn’t reinvent the wheel. If you want to
improve the
RN app then cool but please let’s not redo it! :)
Thanks
