Concepts

With every release, the Changelog (Private) expands to include the following types of updates (with docs links, when applicable):

• Features
• Enhancements
• Fixes
• Breaking Changes
• Deprecation Notices

The first sections of any release notes will contain an overview highlighting specific features and enhancements of a release.

This is made up of:

• Overview of features, enhancements, and/or breaking changes of importance in the release.
• ## Highlights: Changelog items referenced in the overview.
• ## Everything Else: Changelog items not referenced in the overview.

These are pre-release versions of Dendron extensions made available to Environmentalist (Private).

• Release cadence: Every Other Tuesday (PST)

Release notes are done with the General Release of Dendron that comes out each Tuesday. These provide quite a bit more context compared to the changelog notes, including:

• Highlights
• Upcoming events
• Discord community messages from the today-i-learned (Private) and starboard (Private) channels
• Community contributions: Contributors that have been raising issues, contributing code, contributing docs, etc. For more information, view the documentation on Discord Roles (Private)
• General announcements: Blog posts, videos, other events/resources of note, etc.

The release notes also serve as the content submitted to subscribers of the Dendron Newsletter.

Dendron sends out a weekly newsletter, scheduled for every Wednesday at 6AM PST.

Dendron uses Buttondown for managing a newsletter. It's a simple interface that uses Markdown formatting. To make our lives easier, we use a newsletter template and the Markdown Export Pod to send subscribers a copy of our weekly release notes.
