As of Forgejo 8.0.1 the release notes were only available in the
description of the corresponding milestone which is problematic for:
- searching
- safekeeping
The release-notes-published directory is created to remedy those problems:
- a copy of all those release notes from the milestones descriptions
is added.
- a reference is added to the RELEASE-NOTES.md file which will no
longer be used.
- a symbolic link to the RELEASE-NOTES.md is added for completeness.
- the release process will be updated to populate release-notes-published.
The RELEASE-NOTES.md file is kept where it is because it is referenced
by a number of URLs.
The release-notes directory would have been a better name but it is
already used for in flight release notes waiting for the next
release. Renaming this directory or changing it is rather involved.
