Product updates

We have removed the description field from the ReleaseType.

Passing a name instead of an ID in a category object when creating a release will now find or create a category of that name and associate it with the new release.

mutation CreateRelease($projectId: ID!) {
  createRelease(input: {
    release: {
      projectId: $projectId,
      name: "My fancy new release",
      summary: "A great release summary",
      categories: [{ name: "new category" }, { id: "cat_S1BYrPgYYNVtF" }]
    }
  }) {
    release {
      id
    }
  }
}

Release filtering will allow you to view releases by categories and project views. A new element on your internal release page will be available as well as new field arguments in our Releases API.

Expected changes: We will be removing three fields from the Release type in our API.

Affected type: Release

Affected fields: announcement_body and announcement_title

When: April 6th, 2020

Summary: In the coming weeks, we will be introducing the new Release Article model, replacing our existing description and announcement functionality. This change not only affects our API users, but anyone using our Zapier integration to create releases dynamically. API Documentation: https://help.launchnotes.io/article/112-api-getting-started

If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to let us know at support@launchnotes.io

We’re improving the Release creation and editing flow. This includes a “summary” and article concept for Releases, along with new ui interactions for creating public and private communications.

A management API to let you update and create releases. And a publishable API that allows you to embed public release info anywhere you want.
