@mathemancer would you be willing to fill in the TODO content within the "Upgrading" section?

[seancolsen]

Also @mathemancer I'd like you to review the rest of this doc. I know we had talked about doing this together — synchronously — but the content is so small and we've both had such tricky schedules that I figured I'd forge ahead with it and get you to review.

In particular, for #3448, I wrote:

Improve performance of loading sample data when adding a new connection

Does this seem correct?

[seancolsen]

Thanks @mathemancer I pushed 75a2b090d1e6314851691bd282fdd2c7dbf3dd45 to add the release notes to the nav.

[seancolsen]

This is ready to merge now.

I'll merge this as part of our release publication process. But I'll wait until QA is complete first.

@seancolsen I hadn't actually reviewed the content of the release notes, I'd like to suggest two small changes:

• I would add https://github.com/mathesar-foundation/mathesar/issues/3423 to the list of bugs fixed, we only have this under "features" right now, but it's unclear that #3448 also fixes a bug.
• I would move the "Documentation" section below bug fixes, I assume users will be more interested in features and bug fixes than documentation.

Also, do we need to add the upgrading notes to the "Upgrade" section of nav in the main Mathesar docs? Currently it only lists 0.1.4 and older versions: https://docs.mathesar.org/

[kgodey]

@seancolsen I made the changes I suggested + a couple more:

• I renamed "features" to "improvements" since I don't think those are features.
• I moved constraining the width of the connections page to the "improvements" section.

A couple of things to note:

• I did not update the template or the script file, I didn't have time to look into how they work and if my changes to the headers / ordering will need any corresponding changes.
• The 0.1.5 upgrade page is almost identical to the "older versions" upgrade page, might be worth making the content DRY at some point, maybe use a snippet.

Thanks @kgodey. I pushed 75aacbacf07171abeb799091f6ab4e73d127d366 to update the template too.
