+1 since we want to release often, it's better to have a lot of things automated. Additional proposition: automate the blog post and the twitter message that announce the release. 2018-04-17 10:31 GMT+02:00 Vincent Massol <[email protected]>:

Hi,
I’d like to modify the Release Notes app to autogenerate summaries for releases.
The idea is to auto generate it based on the headings for user , admins and devs headers.
For ex, taking the 10.2 release notes it would give:
"For users: New default Color Theme, Figure Macro, Rename/Move protection and Minor changes do not generate notifications anymore. For admins: Default Notifications. For Developers: REST API now supports the use of minor revision for page changes, Translation fallback and Jobs improvements.”
To give a comparions this is how we manually summarised it:
"This release has a fresh look thanks to its new default color theme. A new Figure macro is available for content creators to add illustrations along with optional captions. Renaming and moving standard pages is now discouraged with a warning message that should prevent editors from breaking XWiki.”
Ofc, the manual summary is nicer but I think the automated one could be enough for the user to know the topics and then check the release notes to understand better what’s in it.
Context: This is an effort to automate further our release process and to win some more minutes.
Thanks -Vincent
It's not too bad IMO.
WDYT?
Thanks -Vincent
