Description

When generating an announcement, the list of releases is exposed to the template via the releases object.

This object is unsorted, which makes it difficult to use. Velocity is ill-equipped to sort by releases, as alphabetical order will not give the expected result.

My use case is that I wish to generate release notes with full history, for all previous versions.
