Hi everyone,
Quick heads up: This post covers changes made to the text and guides within our help manuals, not updates to the Nextcloud Server software itself!
You might already know that Nextcloud has three distinct manuals (User, Administration, and Developer). These manuals are constantly evolving, but until now, it has been hard to see exactly what content changed recently.
To fix this, I’m experimenting with dedicated release notes specifically for the documentation itself. You can check out the latest summaries here:
These notes are written to be easy to read and understand (largely thanks to GHCP). They are not just raw code commits or technical changelogs.
This is an experimental process and currently a solo endeavor on my end, so feedback is highly appreciated. Let me know in the replies if you find these summaries helpful or if you have ideas to improve them.
Want to be notified about new doc releases? If you have a GitHub account, you can subscribe to the repository to get notified whenever new documentation release announcements are published.
Help shape the documentation!
The documentation is a community effort, and your help is always welcome. If you want to contribute to the manuals themselves, you can always open an issue or submit a pull request (Tip: You may need to fork the repository first) in the documentation repository. Every refinement to the manuals helps make Nextcloud even better for everyone.
A quick note on how this works
P.S. Actual documentation updates are usually rolling, meaning they go live within a day of being approved. These “release notes” are just a convenient way to bundle and summarize recent changes. The goal is to have new summary notes posted alongside Nextcloud Server point releases.
P.P.S. Since maintaining this is currently a manual effort, please expect occasional delays as the workflow gets ironed out (and bandwidth permits).
