How to Add Release Notes to the Change Log

• For each release, the notes should be put in their own markdown file and saved to the notes directory.

• The filename should be prefixed with the date in YYY-MM-DD format and include the release version number after.

  • This is important as it will define the order of the notes in the full CHANGELOG.md file.
  • example: 2015-05-01_R11-1.md

• We should strive to keep the notes in this format (which is really just the format provided by the brilliant http://keepachangelog.com/).

• A special file _header.md is also in the notes directory. This will be the text that shows up at the top of CHANGELOG.md.
