Latest stable release notes | Current, in development, release notes | All releases
Releases are handled using GitHub releases. The release notes provided there are usually structured in 3 sections, a Migration Instructions, which are the mandatory steps the users have to do to update to a new version, Deprecated which contains deprecated functions which is recommended not to use but will not break any old code, and the New Features which are optional new features available in the new version that users might find interesting. Using them is optional, but encouraged.
These instructions should help developers to migrate from one version to another. The changes listed here are the steps you need to take to move from the previous version to the one being listed. For example, all the steps described in version v1.5 are the steps required to move from v1.4 to v1.5.
If you need to jump several versions at once, you should read all the steps from all the intermediate versions. For example, to jump from v1.2 to v1.5, you need to first follow the steps in version v1.3, then the steps in version v1.4 and finally the steps in version v1.5.
There are also sometimes patch-level releases, in that case there are no breaking changes or new features, just bug fixes, and thus, only bug fixes are listed in the release notes.
