This week we are beginning the deployment of our sprint 113 improvements.\u00a0 You can read the release notes\u00a0<\/a>for details.\nAmong other things, there’s a bunch of nice improvements to the Pull Request experience – we continue to refine and evolve it.\nWe also did a “V2” overhaul of the package management UI.\u00a0 We think it’s more responsive and simpler.\u00a0 We certainly appreciate any feedback you have.\u00a0 For now it is an “opt-in” experience. \u00a0Eventually, it will become the default experience.\nA note on release notes…\nThe way me manage release notes continues to evolve.\u00a0 Several months ago, we changed our process to\u00a0post release notes at the very beginning of deployments rather than “in the middle” – meaning you get\u00a0earlier notice of changes that are coming but you get the notice days, or even a week or more, before the changes actually appear in you account.\nThis sprint\u00a0we’ve evolved even further.\u00a0 As we continue on our journey of service decomposition and autonomy, we really no longer have a single deployment wave.\u00a0 We have many independent services deploying at different times.\u00a0 Starting this sprint, you should now think of the release notes as describing work that is complete and will be deployed over the next 3 weeks.\u00a0\u00a0I’ve decided on this\u00a0small decrease in precision rather than publishing lots of smaller release notes. \u00a0Until we can actually provide personal release notes for your account, we’ll never get to fully precise release notes because every service takes about a week to deploy across the world, even if nothing goes wrong.\nAs always, I’m open to feedback if you feel\u00a0I’m making the wrong trade-offs. \u00a0The principles I’m currently using are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Always tell\u00a0people what’s coming before it shows up in their account.<\/li>\n
  2. Don’t tell people something is coming that doesn’t (no release note retractions).<\/li>\n
  3. Don’t pepper people with constant release note updates – a 3 week cadence is reasonable.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
