[Design] Pulsar All Releases Page

[Anonymitaet]

Hi team,

1. How about providing more useful content to the Pulsar Release Notes > All Releases page as below?

2. This table should be updated automatically.

Info	Info can be pulled from
Release note URL	https://pulsar.apache.org/release-notes/
Release blogs name and URL	https://pulsar.apache.org/blog
Documentation URL	Versions page, so this page can be removed since the info is consolidated into the All Releases page.
Release date Release manager	https://github.com/apache/pulsar/releases.

Hi @tisonkun @urfreespace @SignorMercurio thoughts?

Looks great, though not clear on how to update the table from releases.

[urfreespace]

we can get the release information by gh cli, but I don't think you can get the release date and release manager info from that. Maybe you need to add them manual, pls reference here about gh using https://github.com/apache/pulsar-site/blob/760f7b47f437267a3c9d71d14c73e99ba32bd1ec/site2/website-next/scripts/release-notes.sh#L42. @SignorMercurio @Anonymitaet

I think the release manager could be included in the blog and we don't need to highlight it. Highlight the release date is useful for users, though.

Generally the picture looks good :)

The reason for highlighting release managers is that this might be an incentive for them (improve visibility).

Cross-post the comment here since the Versions page will be deprecated, and the explanation for versioning change can be added to this new page.

[Anonymitaet]

We'll implement it as discussed above. I've created an issue to track the progress. #17514

Hi @eolivelli,

We have an issue with 2.9.0 and 2.9.1 and find that you're the release manager for them.
Could you please give us a hand?
Thank you!

Context

We (@urfreespace, @SignorMercurio) are implementing this idea.

The Pulsar release table is automatically generated based on the info of the Pulsar GitHub release page, where
2.9.0 and 2.9.1 are missing. We're wondering why and figuring out how to deal with this situation.

Questions

• 2.9.0: from the 2.9.0 release note, we know it's a special release. Is this the reason for not showing 2.9.0 on the Pulsar GitHub release page?

• 2.9.1: from the 2.9.1 release note, seems that this is a correct release. Then why is 2.9.1 missing on the Pulsar GitHub release page? Should it be added?

@Anonymitaet FYI - The release blog for 2.10.0 is in place but has not been shown on this new page yet.

@SignorMercurio is this issue caused by website build failure?

[tisonkun]

Yes. The page is online now.
