Website docs - making it simpler to scan release notes #69589

Open markharwood opened 3 years ago

I've just been trying to narrow down when we dropped support for a feature (user is going from 6.x to 7.x).

Currently this involves opening each file listed on the release notes page and opening them individually, using Ctrl F in the browser .

Using the global search feature and looking for myfeatureName and "release note" wasn't much help. The release notes are an important part of dealing with tracking down breaking changes so I was wondering if we could either: 1) Provide a search across all release notes or 2) Provide a download option for a consolidated set of release notes covering all versions.

In support of option 2 it's worth noting each Apache Lucene release has a single Changes.txt file with all changes dating back to the first release.
