Release Notes
The initial
and next
subdirectories of this directory are for release notes.
At the start of a release development cycle, the contents of next
should be deleted
and replaced with those of initial
.
Release notes should be added to next
by editing existing files or creating new files.
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.
The files are 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 *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, for an api/next
file with the line
pkg net/http, function F #12345
there should be a file named 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.
