<div dir="ltr"><div>Greetings developers,<br><br>Totò graciously pointed out that PR #38025 was missing from the changelog entries for 3.16 LTS<br><br>This happened because the feature label was not applied to the PR... At this point I spend most of my time doing copy editing and not monitoring the PR queue, so if a feature is not labelled as such it won't get labelled for inclusion in the changelog.<br><br>I had a quick dig through the PR list and found a bunch of similar features:<br><br><a href="https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/38448">https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/38448</a><br><a href="https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/38331">https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/38331</a><br><a href="https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/37593">https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/37593</a><br><a href="https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/37588">https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/37588</a><br><br>There's a lot of great functionality there that I think is important to showcase and publish and it would be a shame if it fell through the cracks. There may be others like this so if anybody finds any I missed please let me know.<br><br>I would ask that those that have made PRs which introduce new features just double check that their PRs are labelled with the "feature" label in future, and that new features for 3.16 are labelled "Changelog" or "ChangelogHarvested". Don't apply the changelog label yourself, just let me know and I will do it.<br><br>@Nyall I noticed that you have introduced a lot of new features that jumped straight from PR=>merged without the changelog label.<br><br>With how hard and fast you introduce new contributions I think it would be folly for the changelog process to become a blocker for your work, so I don't particularly have an issue with this sidestepping of the "usual" process (PR=>feature label=>changelog label=>merge).</div><div><br></div><div>You also typically provide detailed descriptions of the feature so that's not an issue for me, but if you could label your new features "Changelog" when you merge them so that I can include them as a part of the standard harvesting workflow I'd appreciate it.<br><br></div>I tried to go collect all of those that are merged which you have tagged as "feature" for the next release and have added the following PRs to the changelog list:<br><div><br><a href="https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/38316">https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/38316</a><br><a href="https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/38651">https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/38651</a><br><a href="https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/38652">https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/38652</a><br><a href="https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/38654">https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/38654</a><br><a href="https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/38624">https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/38624</a><br><a href="https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/37958">https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/37958</a><br></div><div><br></div><div>If anyone has suggestions for improving the changelog maintenance workflow please let me know.
