Re: [edk2-announce] Hard Feature Freeze starts from 2019-03-01(00:00:00 UTC-8) for edk2-stable201903

Hot: it looks like we need to revise the wiki page so the stable tag & release notes links are more prominent. Any recommendations on changes?

Thanks ... br

I guess https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/EDK-II-Release-Notes is also for future release notes. Seems it's not listed on https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/EDK-II.

Hi Laszlo,

You can find the permanent release notes on https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/EDK-II:
Under Stable Tags session: https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/releases/tag/edk2-stable201811
https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/EDK-II-Release-Planning is for Future Release and Tag Planning.

Thanks,
Hot

I meant to ask you about permanent links to already released stable tags, in the Wiki. For example, we have:

https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/EDK-II-Release-Notes#edk2-stable201903-tag

but we don't seem to have one for the previous stable tag (edk2-stable201811). Which is strange because I remember that we collected the changes for that release too, in the wiki.

... Ah, I see it now. The problem is with Wiki commit 63a756e8a134
("edk2 wiki: remove edk2-stable201811 tag planning in EDK-II-Release-Planning", 2018-12-10). The content was removed completely.

For example, if I grep the wiki (currently at commit 664b82ca9684) for "id=1213", there are no hits. That means people cannot learn (or make references to) the fact, in the Wiki, that the edk2-stable201811 release fixed TianoCore#1213.

In my opinion, we should rather move that kind of content to a permanent Release Notes article in the Wiki.

Thanks
Laszlo
