Any content to be added in the website for 0.47.0 release?

@tajila anything you want to add?

When we make the website change, I think we should add a 0.47 section above the 0.46 section, and keep both visible.

Any particular reason for that? I am asking because 0.46.0 was already published in August. So why retain it?

[pshipton]

0.47 is not a replacement for 0.46, it's a new version. It's still useful to see the list of updates in 0.46 for users who are using a version before 23.

ok, can I take this as a reference for the future because from what I have seen we have never clubbed together two releases unless those releases were happening back-to-back.

For example, Release 0.41.0 supported OpenJDK 8, 11, and 17, while Release 0.42.0 supported only OpenJDK 21. Both these were not clubbed together.

An improvement for the future. :)

Ok, so in future, if there is a release for a new version only, in the website, we will club it with the previous release updates. Thanks!

@pshipton - Please check and let me know if any changes are required. Thanks!

[pshipton]

The draft looks fine to me.

[vijaysun-omr]

It looks fine to me too. I don't have much to highlight beyond the shared classes behavior that was mentioned already.
