1 New features should be accompanied by a file in this directory for general
2 features, infrastructure, performance enhancements or the like, or a
3 directory below this for area- or "module"-specific additions and changes.
5 The file should be in asciidoc format and contain enough description to
6 enable the documentation team to write something coherent about the new
7 functionality. The name of the file should match the feature. No numbering,
8 etc. is required. With each release, the contents of this directory will be
9 appended to the release notes and removed from this directory.
11 The special file _acknowledgements is meant for acknowledging contributors
12 to the upcoming version of Evergreen. The names should be cleared in the
13 master branch at the beginning of each release cycle.
