For developers who are deploying multiple themes, it’s useful to have a full version history that details new features, improvements, and bug fixes. With Release Notes, this is simpler than ever.
Using the provided .json template and your own style.css main stylesheet, you can organize your theme deployments in releases (major, minor, and bug fixes).

</ul>
