[arch-dev-public] ISO image announcements
Hi all, I just uploaded a new installer image. I did not write any announcement for the last two. Some people were asking for a news item. What is your opinion on this? Should we post announcements even if there are no exciting changes? I could also generate a list of updated packages that are available on the new iso compared to the old one. Greetings, Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, https://pierre-schmitz.com

I don't see the need for a news announcement. Maybe put a ChangeLog next to the download link. That should be more than enough for a rolling release install media. -Andy

I'd just put it in the description field; that shows up on the releases page and is parsed with markdown so you can use links, lists, etc. -Dan
