Where do the Docker for Windows release notes come from?

[AnthonyMastrean]

Problem description

I'm trying to find a reliable location for notifications about Docker for Windows releases. The docs.docker.com pages do not provide feeds (#8574). The various "page to RSS" services out there are terrible. And your own release notes pages lag the actual releases (docker/compose#6620).

Problem location

https://github.com/docker/docker.github.io/blob/master/docker-for-windows/release-notes.md

Project version(s) affected

(all)

Suggestions for a fix

So, I had the same problem with Compose release notes. I went searching and found that the release notes originate from the GitHub releases. I can now use the API for more robust notifications (like Zapier's "watch for new releases").

However, I don't see any Docker for Windows releases... do you actually just write the release notes directly in that md file? or am I missing the source?

The best way to get notifications about newer versions of Docker Desktop, the application (mac / Windows) checks internally for newer versions.
To get external notifications in order to plug custom scripts on this, it is possible to check the latest published version at https://download.docker.com/mac/edge/appcast.xml and https://download.docker.com/windows/edge/appcast.xml, but this is an internal Desktop mechanism that is subject to change without notice.
