--------------------------------------------
Summary: Add references to important installation/upgrade notes to
release notes
Key: KAFKA-3851
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3851
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Ewen Cheslack-Postava
Priority: Blocker
Fix For: 0.10.0.1
Today we use the release notes exactly as exported from JIRA (see "Prepare
release notes" on
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Release+Process) and then
rely on users to dig through our documentation (none of which starts with
release-specific notes) to upgrade and installation notes.
Especially for folks who aren't intimately familiar with our docs, the
information is *very* easy to miss. Ideally we could automate the release notes
process a bit and then have them automatically modified to *at least* include
links at the very top (it'd be nice if we had some other header material added
as well since the automatically generated release notes are very barebones...).
Even better would be if we could pull in the version-specific
installation/upgrade notes directly.
