Semester name is the year a semester is held e.g. 2020.

2020 is followed by E or F because GIRAF team was worked on in both the Spring (F) and Autumn (E) semester.

The name of a release should be in the following format:

1
<Semester name>s<Sprint no.>r<Release no.>

This means that the first release in Sprint 3 in the 2020E semester is called 2020Es3r1.

The newest release should always be the top most in the table of contents e.g. Release 2 is above Release 1 as seen in the illustration.

Release Description

A release description consists of these two things:

  • A brief summary of the things that has changed in the new release
  • A complete list of closed issues that is a part of the new release

Release Overview

When a release description is done a link and date has to be added to the Release Overview. The newest release should be placed as the top most in the table.
