A 90-second drill for release notes (that you’ll actually use)

Release notes pile up. People skim. Outages happen.

I use a tiny drill:
1) Paste the changelog (or fetch the URL).
2) Pull out breaking changes, new defaults, flags/toggles.
3) Produce a migration/rollback checklist + Markdown buckets.

Tool: https://vibeaxis.com/patch-notes-summarizer/

Buckets: Added / Changed / Fixed / Removed / Deprecated / Known issues / Open questions / Highlights.

Export JSON if you want to feed a docs pipeline.

Bonus: gut-check your prose with Slop Index → https://vibeaxis.com/slop-index/
