Release changelog not updating

[connorjclark]

Two places I'd expect to see details on the latest emscripten releases, but are stale:

1- https://emscripten.org/docs/introducing_emscripten/release_notes.html (showing up to 3.1.9)
2- https://github.com/emscripten-core/emscripten/releases (only shows 3.0, maybe just delete if GH won't be used to track releases?)

According to ChangeLog.md 3.1.15 is out, but I thought 3.1.9 was the latest since I only checked the docs 😄 Is there some existing channel or mailing group I can subscribe to for release announcements?

1. Yes our documentation doesn't get automatically updated. I wish that it did. @kripken is that worth investing in do you think?
2. Deleted.

I think it could make sense to automate. I don't have a good idea of how to do that though. In particular we've had issues in the past with rendering failing on stuff like the search page (which uses JS) - to avoid that I do a quick manual check myself.

I updated it manually now. I didrun into a python error

ImportError: cannot import name 'environmentfilter' from 'jinja2'

That looks like readthedocs/readthedocs.org#9038 which I tried to apply the workaround of by doing pip install jinja2==3.0. However then I get

Warning, treated as error:
node class 'meta' is already registered, its visitors will be overridden
make: *** [Makefile:65: html] Error 2

Which seems to be sphinx-doc/sphinx#9841. To work around that I temporarily removed -W from our makefile in order to build. I'm not very familiar with the python module ecosystem so perhaps there is a better way here? Or is there something we need to fix?

[sbc100]

I don't see any warnings. Do you have the correct sphinx version installed (v2.4.4)? Did you run pip install -r requirements-dev.txt?

[kripken]

I do have 2.4.4. I thought I ran that pip command before... but running it now seems to fix things, thanks.
