added first draft of release notes for 0.15.0 #8499

alexwykoff · 2017-04-26T02:59:01Z

First draft of release notes.

luixxiul · 2017-04-26T04:59:51Z

Please keep the original titles of the issues somewhere if they have been changed. Changing even 1 word sometimes make it hard to find the issue with autocompleted queries, thanks to the poor GitHub search system (especially for foreign devs). This time I did it for you. Original title: foo or Old title: bar.

However I am not quite sure it would be a good practice to change the titles of the issues just to produce the release notes. I haven't seen it anywhere else. We also need to revert the title once the issue is reverted and someone will have to keep an eye on it.

luixxiul

changelog itself LGTM

alexwykoff · 2017-04-26T15:00:26Z

@luixxiul agreed, there should be a smart way to generate notes and keep items searchable.

Jacalz · 2017-04-26T15:36:01Z

How about electron builder 17.1.1?
The rest looks good to me 👍
