https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=253338 Bug ID: 253338 Summary: Announcement e-mail missing the most important thing: link to in-progress release notes Product: Base System Version: 13.0-STABLE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: misc Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: cedric@precidata.com I'm finally opening a bug because this annoyed me (and I'm sure a lot of people) for a long time. FreeBSD releases announcements like this one: https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2021-February/093047.html Gets re-posted at a lot of places, like for example here: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=FreeBSD-13.0-BETA1 These announcements are very long and verbose, with lines and lines of hashes, but lack the most important part: a link to the release notes. The message does says: > Please note, the release notes page is not yet complete, and will be > updated on an ongoing basis as the 13.0-RELEASE cycle progresses. But please indicate where the damn "release notes page" is! I've used FreeBSD for over 20 years and I find these announcements frustrating. I think right after "The first BETA build of the 13.0-RELEASE release cycle is now available.", a new line: "Work in progress release notes are available here: https://xxxxx" Should be added. Thanks you for your work. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.help
