# Release notes format
Name: `vX.Y.Z-beta - Short theme` (theme is 2 to 6 words, sentence case).
Tag: `vX.Y.Z-beta`, always with the `v`.
Body, in this order. Omit a section only when it would be empty, except Upgrading, which is always present.
1. Intro: one or two plain sentences on what the release is about. No heading.
2. `## New`: user-visible features. Group with a bold title line (`**Group name**`) followed by bullets.
3. `## Improvements and fixes`: flat bullets.
4. `## API`: one bullet per endpoint change, `METHOD /v1/path` in backticks, then behaviour and status codes. Prefix breaking or shape changes with "Changed:".
5. `## Under the hood`: dependencies, tests, docs, architecture. Only when relevant to contributors.
6. `## Upgrading`: binary replacement, schema/migration changes, new env vars, behaviour changes for existing installs.
7. `## Known limitations`: only when there are real ones.
Rules: bullets are full sentences ending with a period; user-facing wording, no commit prefixes; sentence-case headings; no horizontal rules, no metadata block, no "Pre-1.0" boilerplate (the prerelease flag says it); every release ships all 6 binaries from `task release`.
## Published releases
Each body lives in `docs/releases/<tag>.md`. Publish with `tea releases create --tag <tag> --title "<tag> - <theme>" --note-file docs/releases/<tag>.md --prerelease --asset <file>` after `task release`, with one `--asset` per file: the six binaries, `bin/checksums.txt` and `bin/checksums.txt.sig`. `task release` produces all eight and fails before building when the signing key is missing or wrong (see [deployment.md](deployment.md#release-signing-key-maintainers-once)). Never publish a release without the two checksum files.
