Show release information?

[colinodell]

GitHub now exposes release information via the site.github.releases Jekyll namespace. Is this something we might want to display on our sites?

This is awesome! This will be really handy on our changelog pages. Right now every time a change is made we have to enter it on GitHub (under the release), and then update documentation site. Naturally, these are sometimes not in sync.

I'll get Glide and Plates wired up at some point, and then show others how to update their sites.

Gave this a try, and it works great! See http://glide.thephpleague.com/0.3/changelog/

Awesome work!

Can the headers be linked to the GitHub release page, and can PR/issue hashes be linked to stuff?

Can the headers be linked to the GitHub release page

Yes, good call.

and can PR/issue hashes be linked to stuff?

Still working on that one. ;)

Updated code for this:

{% for release in site.github.releases %}
## [{{ release.name }}]({{ release.html_url }}) - {{ release.published_at | date: "%Y-%m-%d" }}
{{ release.body | markdownify }}
{% endfor %}
