How to publish new release notes:

  2. Click on the "Add release notes" button.
  3. Enter your release notes for this version in the markdown format (you can also use the predefined headers: (new), (improved) and (bugs))
  4. Preview your release notes by clicking the "Preview" button.
  5. Make sure that the "Publish" switch is on.
  6. Save
