### Regression issues
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Every monthly release has a corresponding issue on the CE issue tracker to keep
|
||||||
|
track of functionality broken by that release and any fixes that need to be
|
||||||
|
included in a patch release (see [8.3 Regressions] as an example).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
As outlined in the issue description, the intended workflow is to post one note
|
||||||
|
with a reference to an issue describing the regression, and then to update that
|
||||||
|
note with a reference to the merge request that fixes it as it becomes available.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you're a contributor who doesn't have the required permissions to update
|
||||||
|
other users' notes, please post a new note with a reference to both the issue
|
||||||
|
and the merge request.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The release manager will [update the notes] in the regression issue as fixes are
|
||||||
|
addressed.
