Release Notes of inspectIT can be created for major stable and for beta preview version (see Release Notestypes). For each major stable and beta preview release, a new Confluence page will be created that provides the release notes information. We had a look at Atlassian and mirror their approach (as we like it - https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/JIRA+6.2+Release+Notes).
Structure
The inspectIT documentation wiki contains a top-level "inspectIT Releases" Node, that lists all major release versions of inspectIT. On this major version this major version release documentation page, we can describe the new features from a high-level point of view. Below this page we have the upgrade guidethe Upgrade Guide , describing how to move from the previous major release to this one. For each intermediate release (betas preview and majorsstable) we have one additional page containing the release notes of this version and possible upgrade guides. As we integrated this new release process with version 1.6, older versions will not have subentries, but share the same general layout.
Preview version release notes
Each preview version must provide release notes. The release notes are placed in a new confluence page called inspectIT [majorversion] Release / inspectIT [majorversion].[minorversion] Release / inspectIT [majorversion].[releasenumber] Release Notes. The release notes should show the tickets interesting to users (external) that were solved in this release version.
