The release notes page lists notable new features, changes, or unfixed critical bugs for a specific release of Firefox. Adding release notes content is the responsibility of the release management team, as requested by engineering/product. | The release notes page lists notable new features, changes, or unfixed critical bugs for a specific release of Firefox. | ||
For complex software such as Firefox with thousands of patches during a cycle and external contributors, tracking what should be noted in release notes is not always easy. Adding release notes content is the responsibility of the release management team, as requested by engineering/product. Release management monitor patches that land in Central during the nightly cycle and will ask about potential release note inclusion. However, release management also relies on Engineering/Product to nominate when applicable. | |||
