Review by @sjrd @heathermiller

The release notes themselves will be updated as open source libraries publish. But I want to start the review process now to make sure we are comprehensive with updates to the site needed for a new major version.

ZOMG – 2.11 final. So wow.

Hmm, it seems the front page layout is a bit broken for me when I try to generate:

In announcement (which I cannot display in diff mode, for some reason, and hence am not able to comment in-line):

Please do try out this release candidate to help us find any serious regressions before the final release. The next release candidate (or the final) will be cut on Friday April 11, if there are no unresolved blocker bugs. Our goal is to have the next release be the final -- please help us make sure there are no important regressions!

Must definitely go away.

@retronym and @sjrd could you guys confirm/deny whether the above breakage occurs for you when you generate locally?

I'm currently home on my Windows and I don't have the tools to generate here. (I could generate via ssh but could not see the visual result ...)

I get that breakage locally, too. I'll play around with it to isolate the problem.

@sjrd I've removed the RC reference.

@sjrd Not sure if you have time to try it, but I use jekyll on cygwin, and these instructions worked for me: http://matt.scharley.me/2012/03/10/windows-cygwin-and-jekyll.html

Incremental compilation has been improved significantly. To try it out, upgrade to sbt 0.13.2-M2 and [...]

Since sbt 0.13.2 final is out, this text should be updated.

That's all for me.

@retronym I haven't messed around with it yet, but the last time I got breakage that looked like this, there was an HTML comment in the immediately preceding news item that caused it. (The "previous news items" thing is achieved by using chunks of HTML generated by Jekyll). Might be worth starting there?

@heathermiller Yep that was it. I think I've fixed that for good now, see comments in the latest commit.

Awesome, good going on scala/make-release-notes#86. Would've eaten time and cycles again in the future if

So everything generates well, it looks good.

The last nitpick is that I'm getting an error upon generating but which doesn't actually seem to mean anything (as far as I can tell)

Generating... Error reading file /Users/hmiller/Dropbox/git-shared/scala-lang/download/index.md: syntax error on line 14, col 1: `]'

I'm not sure how Jekyll thinks line 14, column 1 is a ]. Not sure if this is just my version of Jekyll (1.1.2) or if this is some actual error?

@heathermiller I don't see that error with jekyll 1.4.3.
