Release Notes

The initial and next subdirectories of this directory are for release notes.

For developers

Release notes should be added to next by editing existing files or creating new files.

At the end of the development cycle, the files will be merged by being concatenated in sorted order by pathname. Files in the directory matching the glob "*stdlib/*minor" are treated specially. They should be in subdirectories corresponding to standard library package paths, and headings for those package paths will be generated automatically.

Files in this repo's api/next directory must have corresponding files in doc/next/*stdlib/*minor. The files should be in the subdirectory for the package with the new API, and should be named after the issue number of the API proposal. For example, if the directory 6-stdlib/99-minor is present, then an api/next file with the line

pkg net/http, function F #12345

should have a corresponding file named doc/next/6-stdlib/99-minor/net/http/12345.md. At a minimum, that file should contain either a full sentence or a TODO, ideally referring to a person with the responsibility to complete the note.

Use the following forms in your markdown:

[`http.Request`](/pkg/net/http#Request)         # symbol documentation
[#12345](/issue/12345)                          # GitHub issues
[CL 6789](/cl/6789)                             # Gerrit changelists

For the release team

At the start of a release development cycle, the contents of next should be deleted and replaced with those of initial. From the repo root:

> cd doc
> rm -r next/*
> cp -r initial/* next

Then edit next/1-intro.md to refer to the next version.

To prepare the release notes for a release, run golang.org/x/build/cmd/relnote generate. That will merge the .md files in next into a single file.
