Edit Release Details

Once you have selected the release version to edit, ReleaseForge downloads the selected release details from SourceForge (this data includes the release notes, change log and release files).

Once the data is downloaded, you can then edit the release details as desired.

Editing release details

This page allows you to modify the following:

Release name
Release status (hidden or active)
Release notes
Change log

If you wish, you can edit this data. Otherwise, you can proceed to the next wizard page. You can also choose to notify SourceForge users that are monitoring your project of the impending release. The release notification checkbox is unchecked by default when editing a release. If you wish to notify SourceForge users of this new release, simply check this field.

Note: The actual notification email will not be sent until the release is succesfully uploaded and entered into the SourceForge system.

Notifying users monitoring the package

If you'd like, you can also enter release notes describing this new release. You have the ability to enter the notes manually into the release notes entry field. The releases notes will automatically word-wrap to fit the entry area.

Entering release notes

Alternatively, you can import the release notes from a text file. If you choose to import the release notes you can still edit the text manually, as before, however, word-wrapping will be disabled to preserve your desired formatting.

Importing release notes

Similarly, you can enter your change log in the designated entry field. As in the case of the release notes, word-wrapping will automically be applied.

Entering the change log

Alternatively, you can import the change log from a text file. If you choose to import the change log you can still edit the text manually, as before, however, word-wrapping will be disabled to preserve your desired formatting.
