Release Notes for 18.1.3

LLVM Project

Hi,

I want to experiment with collecting release notes for the 18.1.3 release. We have never had release notes before for the individual dot releases, and if you look at the release notes we have published on the website for dot releases, they are always just the same release notes that we used for the previous major release.

I’m going to start by asking for people to add a comment with some release notes when whey file a PR to backport a fix. This is going to be optional, but if think your fix is noteworthy please add a release note. If this works out, I’m going to try to add some tooling around this so that we can automatically generate the full release notes from the PRs.

Hi,

On a somewhat related note, I wrote release notes for clangd 18, but my PR adding it was merged to the 18.x branch after the 18.1.0 release was already out. As a result, it does not show up at

https://releases.llvm.org/18.1.0/tools/clang/tools/extra/docs/ReleaseNotes.html

(which was presumably built from an earlier commit in the 18.x branch).

Is there a possibility of hosting release notes from a newer commit on the 18.x branch, e.g. at https://releases.llvm.org/18.1.3/tools/clang/tools/extra/docs/ReleaseNotes.html ?
