Page History

...

Create a new release file in the site/_releases/ directory in the Daffodil Site Repository, updating the page to include a summary of the changes and links/descriptions of the bugs that were fixed in this release. The usual procedure for gathering the tickets of interest is as follows:

1. Find all tickets that have the version being released as their Fix Version, that are not resolved or closed (i.e Unresolved), and do a bulk change (Top Right: Tools > Bulk Edit) and move them to the next release (under Unreleased Versions)
2. Do a search for all tickets that have the version being released as their Fix Version, and export it as a CSV (Top Right: Export > CSV (All fields)

3. In Excel (or equivalent), delete the columns that aren't needed, that do some manipulation to get that list of bugs in the format for the release page(i.e \{% Jira XXXX %} Title)

4. For changes that need more description (e.g. big features), create sections on the release page and add those descriptions

Parameters that must be set because this is a release candidate include:
