Release Notes
Explanation
The Release Notes Application is a contributed extension that an administrator installs from the Extension Manager, and it needs XWiki 17.10 or later.
It stores everything as ordinary wiki pages below the ReleaseNotes space, so the usual page rights decide who may read a release note and who may add changes to it. Nothing else has to be administered beyond the application's own configuration, which holds the product name and the template that new release notes start from: Configure the Release Notes Application.
FAQ
How can I try the application with sample data?
Install the org.xwiki.contrib.releasenotes:application-releasenotes-demo extension through the Extension Manager's advanced search, which adds sample release notes for XWiki 8.3.
Can the application live somewhere other than the ReleaseNotes space?
No. Its pages name ReleaseNotes in their queries and references, so a copy or a rename of that space leaves a tree the application no longer finds; see Release Note Structure.
Can the application be displayed in another language?
Release Notes Application 2.6+ The strings its own pages display come from the ReleaseNotes.Code.Translations bundle, which a wiki translates by adding a translation of that page; the field labels of the change form come from the XClasses and stay in English.
Release changes created with version 1.x are displayed empty. What should I do?
Open the "Migration from 1.x" page in the application's code space and start the migration, which converts the old change objects to the current format. The application home page links to it while any such change remains.
