enricobuehler	4c587ef531	docs(release): split the technical half into CHANGELOG.md, and lead with a TL;DR ... main went from 35ba64ca to a8a4b11f while this branch sat open — 190 more commits, taking 0.25.0 to 327 since v0.24.0 and making it the largest release so far. That scale is what forced the restructure. THE SPLIT. Through v0.24.0 the engineering detail lived in an `## Under the hood (for developers)` section at the bottom of the notes. It had grown to 21 dense bullets sitting under the user-facing half — the exact burying the voice rules exist to prevent, and it would only have got worse here. So: * `CHANGELOG.md` at the repo root is now the technical half, newest release first. It opens with a version table that lists every protocol number INCLUDING the unchanged ones, because "did the driver protocol move?" is the question an embedder most often needs answered and "no" is a real answer. Then breaking changes, capability bits, wire planes, env vars, and the rest. * `docs/releases/vX.Y.Z.md` keeps a short `## For developers` pointer and otherwise contains no internal names at all. * The link targets the file AT THE TAG, not at main. A release's notes are frozen; a main link would silently start describing a later release. * README.md and TEMPLATE.md now document this as the ritual rather than leaving it a one-off, including a new rule 7 requiring the TL;DR. The notes are SHORTER than before the merge — 83 lines against 108 — while covering three times as much. That is the point. TL;DR, six bullets: FFmpeg gone from the desktop clients; AV1 at 4K shipping half of every frame; HDR/10-bit leaving half the encoder idle; Windows hosts minting their own audio devices; the controller sweep; and settings silently resetting. The last bullet points at `## Before you update` rather than restating it. WHAT I DELIBERATELY DID NOT PROMOTE. #96 (HEVC DPB) and the rav1d half of #97 are ship-blockers for the NEW decode stack, not live field bugs — verified, `git ls-tree v0.24.0 -- crates/` has none of pf-vkdecode/pf-bitstream/pf-dxvadec/ pf-vaadec and `dpb_limit` did not exist at the tag. Nobody on a released build has ever hit them. They are in Fixed and in the changelog, not the TL;DR, which is reserved for things a reader is living with today. (A memory note claiming shipped 0.24.x clients carry the HEVC bug was wrong and has been corrected — it was about to drive a release decision.) Also kept out of user-facing Fixed: the plugin-UI empty panel (fixes the origin split from earlier in THIS release, so it folds into that change — but its 47993 firewall consequence IS in `## Before you update`, because an upgraded host keeps a 47992-only rule and every plugin interface goes blank), and the pad-audio WASAPI path fix (repairs a Windows build break in never-shipped code). HONESTY CARRIED FORWARD rather than smoothed. The notes say plainly that the Android overlay change did not make the stream faster, that nothing is recoverable from the Windows non-C: settings loss, that Deck HDR still needs Steam's own display setting, and that VB-CABLE should be left installed. The changelog's verification section says the FFmpeg-deletion milestone never executed on a GPU, pf-vaadec has never decoded a frame anywhere, openh264 has never run on glass, and controller audio has never touched a real DualSense. Play's "What's new" refreshed and re-fitted: swapped the TV-profiles line for the safe-area/notch fix, which is visible to every modern phone user. First draft came out at 525 chars; trimmed to 497/500, verified with android.yml's gate logic. Re-verified after the merge (Cargo.lock conflicted — took main's and regenerated the bump): lock diff versions-only 35/35 against origin/main, `cargo metadata --locked` resolves (39 members; fec-rs, pf-driver-proto, usbip-sim and the newly vendored cros-codecs keep their own versions), `cargo fmt --all --check` clean in both workspaces, doc lazy-continuation scanner 0 hits over 579 files, notes body 0 internal-vocabulary hits above `## For developers`. Wire 2. C ABI 14 -> 17 (15 rumble floor, 16 pad audio, 17 session end reason). Driver protocol 6 and gamepad channel 3 untouched. host_caps is down to its last free bit (0x80) and video_caps has been full since 0.23.0 — both now stated in the changelog rather than left to be rediscovered.	2026-08-07 20:24:08 +02:00
enricobuehlerandClaude Opus 4.8	15d09a8c10	feat(ci/release): author release notes in-repo + announce stable releases to Discord ... Release notes now live in the repo at docs/releases/vX.Y.Z.md, authored during the version bump (before the tag). ensure_release (gitea-release.sh + .ps1 twin) seeds the Gitea release body from that file in the create POST, so the release is born WITH its notes instead of being created empty and PATCHed afterward. canary/rc have no file -> empty body, unchanged. New manual `announce` workflow (workflow_dispatch, tag input) re-syncs the notes file over the live release and posts a violet embed (title, notes lead-in, release-page link) to the Discord #releases channel via the DISCORD_RELEASE_WEBHOOK secret. Stable-only: a -rc tag is refused unless allow_prerelease=true. Pressing "go" is the quality gate, so a half-built or failed release is never announced. docs/releases/README.md documents the ritual; TEMPLATE.md is the skeleton.
