</div></div>I've now added some text, can someone proof-read it and extend it if<br>
necessary?<br>
<br>
Also, since writing a release note is always a burden to me and usually delays<br>
our releases, I'd like suggestions on how to improve this situation in the<br>
future. Maybe we should introduce the usage of some keyword in commit messages<br>
for noteworthy changes?<br>
<div class=""><div class="h5"><br>
Bye<br></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I just skimmed through it, I changed a couple of small things. I think that it's easier to read if we offer the changes in bullet-points rather than text, which I guess looks more professional, but feels a bit like a school composition and, in this case, we're dealing with hackers afterall.<br>
<br></div><div>Regarding keywords, I think it can be interesting, to do some of this, maybe [1] using DIGEST could help us know which are interesting. On the other hand sometimes many small commits make up for a mention in the release announcement, and I'm unsure how we could cover those cases, I guess some manual edition is always needed.<br>
