TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
We do send out release notes with our upgrades. They mention any new
features but do not provide procedures for the features, nor screen
shots; we save those for the "real" documentation. The release notes also
mention any bugs that were fixed; we state what the product did (or
didn't do) before, and what it doesn't do (or does) now. Our product has
several modules, so we organize the release notes by module.
