Feed for changelog

[Johannes Wienke]

Hi,

is there an RSS feed available with the Changelog (for the LTS version)?
On the Changelog page there is a feed icon but that is just the feed for
the blog.

https://jenkins-ci.org/changelog-stable/

Cheers,
Johannes

No, there is not.

You could subscribe to our Google calendar, which contains the LTS RC and release dates:

Hi,

Thanks. However, I'd be more interested in what actually changed than
the dates. And not having to navigate to the webpage from my news reader
would be much more convenient. Any chance to set up such a feed?

Right now the changelog is a plain HTML page (which is probably not the best of ideas anyway, for either changelog, no that we have a static site). We'd need to move it into some other data structure from which the HTML changelog (and RSS/Atom) would be generated.

Could you file an issue in the WEBSITE project on http://issues.jenkins-ci.org?

(I though RSS was dead since Google Reader was shut down? Are you the last holdout? :-) )

What's the alternative? A Facebook page? ;)

I could perhaps make it such that Jenkins sends you a snapchat whenever a
release is published xD


Getting a feed for the changelog I agree is a very good idea. We'll have to
change the development workflow for Jenkins core a bit to properly support it,
since right now people are just updating an HTML file.


I'll put further updates in the ticket though

BTW, this is my current hack:

Thanks.  I want to integrate this with Slack so I can get notified of a new release.  If there's another way to do this, please let me know.
