• Type: Task
• Status: Closed
• Priority: Critical
• Resolution: Fixed
• Fix Version/s: 2.0.0

Release Note

We will use yetus releasedocmaker to make our changes doc from here on out. A CHANGELOG.md will replace our current CHANGES.txt. Adjacent, we'll keep up a RELEASENOTES.md doc courtesy of releasedocmaker.

Over in HBASE-18828 is where we are working through steps for the RM integrating this new tooling.

Description

We should consider adopting Hadoop's releasedocmaker for better release notes. This would pull out text from the JIRA 'release notes' field with clean presentation and is vastly superior to our current notes, which are simply JIRA's list of issues by fix version. Could hook it into the site build. A convenient part of Yetus to get up and running with.
