Releases
Use this page when you want the public release trail quickly. Public release material remains in:- GitHub Releases
- CHANGELOG.md
- the public release notes under
docs/releases/
What To Expect Here
- Release notes and changelog-style history are public.
- Reader-facing version history belongs in the OSS repository.
- Release-support files may still exist in the repository when automation depends on them, but they are not the default reader path.
How To Read The Repository Release Directory
When you opendocs/releases/ in the repository:
- start with files named
vX.Y.Z*.mdwhen you want the canonical public release note - read
*-announcement.mdwhen you want the shorter announcement-style artifact - treat
support/README.md,support/TEMPLATE.md, and the monthly drift reports undersupport/as maintainer or release-governance support material
What Still Lives In The Repository
Some release-support files still remain in the repository because scripts and release-governance checks depend on them. They stay in the repo as support material for public release quality, but they are not promoted as part of the primary user-facing docs navigation.Use These References When
- you want to understand what changed between released versions
- you need the public release trail without digging through release-support helpers
- you are evaluating whether a behavior change has already been documented for users
