Modify release notes template

[Anoop Wilson]

I want to modify the release notes template to primarily include the following.


1. Resolved issues in this Fix Version (if possible also show the Issue type, Priority and Severity(custom field) of these issues)

2. Unresolved issues prioritised for this Fix Version (if possible also show the Issue type, Priority and Severity(custom field) of these issues)

3. Known issues i.e. All Unresolved issues from all versions of the project (if possible also show the Fix Version, Issue type, Priority and Severity(custom field) of these issues)

For that, you need to split the issue list to 3 sub-collections, sort them, and print various fields. Sorting can quite hard in the plain vanilla Release Notes template.

Check whether the PDF file format is viable for your use. If it is, use the PDF View Plugin to create custom Release Notes documents.

You can implement the logic part (creating sub-collections, sorting, etc.) in Groovy, while still define the look in Velocity.
