iirc, the idea of releases.md is to see at one glance the status of releases for all distribution channels. so, what is really out there :)

to achieve that, it may be needed to update releases.md if not all stores are done. there are not-so-rarely channels that get stuck for weeks. or do not get a release at all. one wants to see see that eg. that core123 is available on macOS - but stock on Windows for $reasons. or that android456 is out on Google Play - but not on F-droid since weeks

so, maybe a bit more neutral here:

Suggested change

	after all appstores are done:
	- [ ] add/update entry on https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-pages/blob/main/releases.md
	update <https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-pages/blob/main/releases.md> on progress

I bet that if it is not a todo item it will be forgotten.
There is always the release progress issue on desktop, so if you want to know the state of the release, better look there directly. we could also establish that the latest release progress issue should be pinned for easier access.

I see the use case more in finding out fast, what core version was used based on ui version without checking the long UI changelog easily. for checking what is delayed there is the release progress issue on desktop.

if that is the gist, indeed on desktop that information is hard to find.

on android/ios we always add a "update to core123" or "using core123" to the end of each changelog entry, so we could just add a link to the changelog from release.md then.

but anyways, it is also about what is doable, and yes, a concrete checkpoint is better than a vague additional sentence.

so, feel free to merge that in, it is definetely an improvement to add a hint to release.md. i was just wondering about the gist.

To be honest, I don't know what hocuri and Holger thought when making it, this just my interpretation for what I'd use that file.
