I had the same thought. But wasn't sure if that is a good idea since the
compact nature of release notes can be a feature in itself.
The release highlights (new-and-noteworthy as NB used to call the page)
with screenshots and clips is more something for blogs/wikis I believe.

I think screenshots might help a lot in creating more appealing Release Notes.
Often, screenshots from the PR can be reused. And we can always encourage
people to attach screenshots in PRs when relevant.

We can manually group the changes a bit better in the final release

its often that multiple PRs when taken together would create a

Agreed! Although this is also how we (OK, mainly Geertjan! :-) ) highlight
things on the download pages, blog posts, social media posts, etc.
Compare eg. https://netbeans.apache.org/download/nb120/index.html and
https://netbeans.apache.org/download/nb16/
The former was definitely becoming burdensome, but the latter is possibly not
enough.
FlatLAF update PR quietly introduces a new theme (highlight label worthy):
https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/5298
...
(some?) PHP 8.2 support - but the PRs are already nicely grouped in
that category
Good list! :-)
but tbh as someone who is often going around and labels PRs, I am
already glad when they are labeled at all :) I am not really thinking
about release notes at this point in the dev cycle.
Tell me about it! That's kind of the issue, along with grouping, where maybe
the highlight label is not the right way to do this?
Best wishes,
Neil
