Good release notes provide administrators the necessary information to plan system upgrades in environments that require change control, and support end users who want to understand and prepare to use new GitHub features and functionality.
Writers source, edit, and publish release notes in collaboration with product DRIs, feature owners, and individual engineers at GitHub. For each individual release, we group release notes by predefined types.
We publish the release notes for GitHub Enterprise Server on GitHub Docs, in the "Enterprise administrators" documentation set.
Types of releases
GitHub Docs provides release notes for feature releases and patch releases of GitHub Enterprise Server. For more information, see "About upgrades to new releases" in the GitHub Enterprise Server documentation.
