Release Notes are wrong

[thomhurst]

Heya, because I'm using the new Microsoft.Testing.Platform packages, I'm getting dependabot updates for them.

However it's pulling through ancient release notes from 2018. I assume because you've got v1 tags that relate to an old version of MSTest?

Hi @thomhurst,

I have no idea how dependabot is generating the release notes but clearly something is off. We do ship the new platfrom from a private mirror repo and not from here.

[thomhurst]

On nuget.org the project site link links to this repository. Maybe it's due to that.

I can confirm this is working by looking at this metadata. I'll discuss with the team if we can point the private repo or how to workaround this.

@thomhurst I will close this issue as it should now be fixed since we have open-sourced the extra component here, the link and notes will be accurate.

Does commenting reopen this? I'd like to reopen because they seem to be a hybrid of different projects ATM. There are release notes that are relevent to testing platform. Then there's release notes that seem specific to MSTest.

AFAIK there is no way for us to fix this, this repo hosts multiple products with different release notes and it seems dependabot only looks at the release tab of the repo (which is not made to support multiple projects).

I haven't actually looked into it but does the dotnet runtime repository have the same problem? They have all the extensions packages don't they, so would probably have the same problems. But if you can't fix no worries, just wanted to make you guys aware

I'll sync with them but AFAIK they only have one version number for all their components.
