Release Notes #5

Open bor opened 10 years ago

bor commented 10 years ago

Hello, Thanks for great tool, very usefull.

Is it possible to add a release notes into the mail notification?

mystor commented 10 years ago

I'm not sure where I would get the release notes from.

Currently gh-release-watch monitors the tags which are pushed to a repository. These don't have any text associated with them which might represent release notes. Release notes tend to be distributed in a different way for every project.

If I could find a good source of release notes, I would love to add them, but I'm not sure how I would go about it right now.

I'm not too familiar with Github but have you checked https://help.github.com/articles/creating-releases and the API at https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/releases? Looks like the description is retrievable through that, if it was given by author.

@tuukkamustonen I don't have the time to work on adding that feature to GH Release Watch right now, but I'd be open to a patch which adds support.

Actually, I found http://www.sibbell.com after commenting. Just a fyi if you were not aware of its' existence.
