What is the documentation issue?

The Github release notes are not part of the version history and they are not user friendly.

Is there any context that might help us understand?

If you include the CHANGELOG.md in git, you can review what is included there, in the PR making the related change.

As an example of the user unfriendliness, try finding the release notes for v16.1.0 (not only that specific version, but those around that time to get an overview). https://github.com/vercel/next.js/releases?q=v16.1.0&expanded=true Shows v16.2.0 versions.

CHANGELOG.md gives a good overview of the versions and timeline. You can search through a file with normal tools. It is easy to find versions that introduce changes that you are interested in. Having version history for the changelog in itself is a benefit.

Does the docs page already exist? Please link to it.

Fix: Automate GitHub Releases from CHANGELOG.md

Goal – Keep the GitHub “Releases” page in sync with the CHANGELOG.md so every version tag shows the exact changelog entry, making it searchable and user‑friendly.

1. Add a Release‑Drafter config

Create .github/release-drafter.yml (or update if it exists).

name-template: 'v$NEXT_PATCH_VERSION'   # will be replaced by the tag name
tag-template: 'v$NEXT_PATCH_VERSION'
categories:
  - title: '🚀 Features'
    label: 'feat'
  - title: '🐛 Bug Fixes'
    label: 'fix'
  - title: '🧰 Maintenance'
    label: 'chore'
change-template: '- $TITLE @$AUTHOR (#$NUMBER)'
template: |
  ## What's Changed
  $CHANGES
  ## Full Changelog
  https://github.com/$OWNER/$REPOSITORY/compare/$PREVIOUS_TAG...$TAG

The drafter will pull merged PR titles/labels and build a draft release.

2. Wire it up with a GitHub Action

Add .github/workflows/release.yml:
