Adding a name to notable releases
The idea
When particular release contains a significant new feature, we'll add short name for that feature (set of features) in the release header.
Why
Release name should provide value in two ways:
- When we link the CHANGELOG during the release, it will be easier for users/stakeholders to spot what has happened
- It makes it easier to find important release of the past
How
The release header will have another optional section
- # <sem ver> - <date>
+ # <sem ver> - <date> [- <release name>]
The release name is using sentece case capitalization:
