having "What's New" info

blizzz opened this issue ยท 4 comments

For nextcloud/server#9163 we require to have up to 3 bullet points of "What's new" info for an upcoming release. The text will be prepared by @jospoortvliet or his team.

Options:

  • (original ifea) a file in the nextcloud.com server repo, but this means overhead for the updater_server (fetching, caching)
  • entries in the config/config.php, but they'd be duplicated and bloated
  • a new file, perhaps config/whatsnew.json, in JSON format, that would be read and added to the reply. It would contain an array with version acting as a key, being an array carrying up to three strings.

I guess the last option makes most sense.

What do you think @MorrisJobke @nickvergessen

I believe #116 means this can be closed (unless I'm overlooking something).

How did you find this @joshtrichards ๐Ÿ˜…

I probably fell down some rabbit hole, but it was instigated by some Updater related doc work. ๐Ÿ˜„

I see we stopped providing the what's new data for a while, probably not required anymore
