Maybe some other protocol is needed for handling release notes.

You mean, like, merging them?

I think a better strategy would be to define release notes in yaml in each repository and then have the website builder scrape those release notes. Merging them all into a single file is not working and clearly more work than should be required. "1_69_0": - note: Added perfect forwarding support. type: normal links: - type: trac id: 13345 - type: github-issue id: 21 - type: github-pr id: 42 - note: Removed public interface. type: breaking - note: Deprecated such-and-such. type: deprecation We could have a Cebrerus schema validator file (in boostorg/website) for the release note language. The website build could fail (optionally) if any of the release notes did not meet the validator. - Jim
