When generating release notes for a new release, use the following prompt with GitHub Copilot (or another AI assistant), substituting the changelog and version number as appropriate.
Generate release notes for [version] of the nextcloud/documentation repository based on the following changelog.
For each PR in the changelog, look up the original (non-backport) PR to identify the true author. Organize the release notes into sections by which manual the PR touches: Admin Manual, Developer Manual, and User Manual. If a PR touches multiple manuals, include it in each relevant section with a summary appropriately tuned to that manual's audience. Eliminate any section for which there are no PRs.
For each entry, write a concise human-readable summary (not just the PR title), and attribute it with by @author in #number.
At the end, include a New Contributors section calling out any authors whose author_association on the original PR is CONTRIBUTOR (rather than MEMBER) — these are first-time or external contributors.
All PRs are backported via @backportbot — include a note at the bottom acknowledging this and clarifying that original authors are credited throughout.
