Description
JIRA automatically generates Release Notes based on the Fix Version field applied to issues. Release Notes are intended for Flink users (not Flink committers/contributors). You should ensure that Release Notes are informative and useful.
Open the release notes from the version status page by choosing the release underway and clicking Release Notes.
You should verify that the issues listed automatically by JIRA are appropriate to appear in the Release Notes. Specifically, issues should:
- Be appropriately classified as Bug, New Feature, Improvement, etc.
- Represent noteworthy user-facing changes, such as new functionality, backward-incompatible API changes, or performance improvements.
- Have occurred since the previous release; an issue that was introduced and fixed between releases should not appear in the Release Notes.
- Have an issue title that makes sense when read on its own.
Adjust any of the above properties to the improve clarity and presentation of the Release Notes.
Ensure that the JIRA release notes are also included in the release notes of the documentation (see section "Review and update documentation").
Content of Release Notes field from JIRA tickets
To get the list of "release notes" field from JIRA, you can ran the following script using JIRA REST API (notes the maxResults limits the number of entries):

jq is present in most Linux distributions and on MacOS can be installed via brew.
