Looking at the "Added" section for the previous releases, we seem to mention the changes to CI (automation/) as well.

So I will wait for a day to see if people oppose this, if not I will add your suggested sentence in v5. Kind regards, Henry

The CI entries are present in both 4.15 and 4.16: 4.15: - CI loop: Add Alpine Linux, Ubuntu Focal targets; drop CentOS 6 - CI loop: Add qemu-based dom0 / domU test for ARM - CI loop: Add dom0less aarch64 smoke test 4.16: - 32bit Arm builds to the gitlab-ci automated tests. - x86 full system tests to the gitlab-ci automated tests. > So I will wait for a day to see if people oppose this, if not I will add your suggested > sentence in v5. > > Kind regards, > Henry ~Michal
