Improvements to GitHub Releases – generally available

GitHub is where developers come to learn and celebrate what’s new in open source, and where maintainers share, collaborate and celebrate their community’s work. Starting today, two improvements to the release process on GitHub are generally available:

  • Maintainers can now automatically generate release notes, giving them a summary of all the pull requests for a given release.
  • The Releases UI refresh gives more clarity into what’s included in a given release and recognition for contributors in the community. We’ve also significantly overhauled pagination and introduced new search functionality.
