Minor Version Release notes

The release notes for minor versions are generated automatically, based on issues assigned to the minor version's milestone.

  1. Go to the 'Milestones' page in the backdrop-issues repo: https://github.com/backdrop/backdrop-issues/milestones
  2. Close the milestone for this minor version (this triggers the generation of the release notes)
  3. Go to the 'Actions' page in the backdrop-issues repo: https://github.com/backdrop/backdrop-issues/actions
  4. A 'Release Notes Generator' workflow should be in progress - wait until it's done, then click on it
  5. Scroll down to the 'Artifacts' section and click on the 'release-notes' download - this ZIP file contains a markdown file with the generated release notes for this minor version
