Release notes are critical and should be added as soon as possible so that libraries and hosting providers have as much time as possible to review notes and prepare. Starting with Poppy, release notes deadlines have been added to release timeline. Poppy final release notes deadline is October 13 2023.
Current release notes layout
POs should
- Update release notes once a feature and/or issue is set to PO Review.
- Ask SM to coordinate time for devs to add release notes throughout the release
- If no SM, PO should remind devs to add release notes throughout the release
- Add a label to track known issues for a release
- Add a label for features/issues that require a release note
- Beaware of any updates/migrations that may result in significant service disruption or results in significant changes to data (i.e. MARC - FOLIO mapping rules changes)
