This cycle, to address these problems for our ever-growing set of projects, the release management team is introducing a new tool for handling release notes as files in-tree, to allow us to simply and continuously build the release notes for stable branch point releases and milestones on the master branch. The idea is to use small YAML files, usually one per note or patch, to avoid merge conflicts on backports and then to compile those files in a deterministic way into a more readable document for readers. Files containing release notes can be including in patches directly, or you can create a separate patch with release notes if you want to document a feature than spans several patches. The tool is called Reno, and it currently supports ReStructuredText and Sphinx for converting note input files to HTML for publication. Reno is git branch-aware, so we can have separate release notes documents for each release series published together from the master build. -- Excerpted from Doug Hellmann's email to the mailing list http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2015-November/078301.html For more information about Reno: http://docs.openstack.org/developer/reno/ Change-Id: I4028d52f5e67d2873b3dc9df279f78a15c35d84f
