Releases

Release numbering: own vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH line starting at v6.0.1, independent of upstream GNU Midnight Commander versions. MINOR is bumped for feature releases, PATCH for fix-only releases. Each release page notes the upstream version the fork is based on.

A draft is generated with maint/release_notes.sh, grouped by type (Features, Fixes, Internal) and, inside each type, by area (mcedit, mcview, Panel, VFS, Core, Plugins — the latter split per plugin). Refactorings, CI and build changes go to the Internal section.

The generator emits raw PR titles. Before publishing a release page the entries are rewritten in plain language — what the user sees and why it changed — so the pages are hand-curated, not regenerated in place.

Browsing PRs by label: Feature, Bug fix, Plugin, mcedit, mcview, panel
