>Subject: release process: add changelog info to gibhub release page?
>
>(from the discussion in [1])
>
>currently, releases for mojos in github only show the plain list of release
>tag names - example: [2]. leaving it to the user to find the list of issues
>that were fixed (e.g. in the maven site's github report).
>
>by using the GitHub UI it's possible to add a link to the changelog (which
>is usual in a lot of github projects), example in build-helper-maven-plugin
>3.1.0 [3]. this is a release draft create by me yesterday.
>
>the question is: do we want to add this step in general to the release
>process for new releases, or prefer to keep the plain list of tag names.
>
>adding the additional release information is a manual step (which is always
>bad for a release process). it may be possible to automate it with plugins
>like [4], but i've not tried it, and this plugin adds additional complexity
>to the release process as another token-based authentication needs to be
>setup.
>
>i'm fine with either way, just wanted to ask to make the releases
>consistent.
>
>if no one votes for adding more information to release tags in github
>(manual step), i will remove the changelog link for the latest build-
>helper-maven-plugin to make it consistent again.
