Render list of releases using a content adapter

[sftim]

This is a Feature Request

What would you like to be added
Partially Revise https://kubernetes.io/releases/ to have some pages rendered using a content adapter.

For example:

• https://kubernetes.io/releases/v1.30.0/ becomes a new page about the v1.30.0 release
  • …with a link to the announcement blog article.
  • There are download links (and signatures, etc)
  • There's a link to the changelog
  • there's a link to the tag at GitHub
• https://kubernetes.io/releases/v1.30.1/ becomes a new page about the v1.30.1 patch release with some details
  • and a link to https://kubernetes.io/releases/v1.30.0/
  • There are download links etc
  • There's a link to the changelog
  • There's a link to the tag at GitHub
• https://kubernetes.io/releases/v1.29.0/ becomes a new page about the v1.29.0 release
  • …with a link to the announcement blog article
  • There are download links (and signatures, etc)
  • There's a link to the changelog
  • There's a link to the v1.29 documentation
• https://kubernetes.io/releases/v1.19.0/ becomes a new page about the v1.19.0 release
  • …with a link to the announcement blog article
  • There are download links (and signatures, etc)
  • There's a link to the changelog
• https://kubernetes.io/releases/v1.12.3/ becomes a new stub page with details of the v1.12.3 patch release.
  • there's a link to the tag at GitHub
  • and a link to https://kubernetes.io/releases/v1.12.3/
  • but no download links because we don't offer downloads for releases that old

Why is this needed
It provides a better place and “one stop shop” for people who want to find out about our releases, new and old.

We would need to be using Hugo v0.126 or later.

[sftim]

We should only make this change if we think it's a good idea.

[dipesh-rawat]

+1 from me for this. This looks like a nice feature to incorporate.

[PushkarJ]

This is a great idea. I want to try this for kubernetes/sig-security#1 to auto-generate CVE pages.

Can I request SIG Docs to create a container image that supports this new feature in v0.126.0? Getting this error right now:

I've messaged you @PushkarJ about how to preview the site with a different Hugo version.

The Kubernetes project currently lacks enough contributors to adequately respond to all issues.

This bot triages un-triaged issues according to the following rules:

• After 90d of inactivity, lifecycle/stale is applied
• After 30d of inactivity since lifecycle/stale was applied, lifecycle/rotten is applied
• After 30d of inactivity since lifecycle/rotten was applied, the issue is closed

You can:

• Mark this issue as fresh with /remove-lifecycle stale
• Close this issue with /close
• Offer to help out with Issue Triage

Please send feedback to sig-contributor-experience at kubernetes/community.

/lifecycle stale

[sftim]

I think this'd be a really nice idea.
/remove-lifecycle stale

[sftim]

Any takers?

[xmudrii]

@sftim Do we have any example for this so far? I could look into it if we have some example how it is done

[sftim]

We're not using this functionality as far as I know. Not yet.

@xmudrii if you'd like to work on this, or to introduce someone with an interest, I reckon SIG Docs can coach them. I may well have capacity in the 2nd part of November (2024).
