Communicating a Release
After a release is published, it should be announced on Slack to keep contributors and users informed.
Steps
-
In Slack, ensure you have Format messages with markup enabled in your preferences:
File > Preferences > Advanced > Format messages with markup
-
Construct the Slack message using the following template in Markdown:

In Slack, post the message to
