It would be nice to have the release notes issued at least a week or so earlier for VAR's and clients. This will create more transparency and ease for the VARs and their clients.

I understand that changes can occur close to deployment, yet across all the SaaS vendors we work with, it’s standard practice to receive release notes in advance of production updates. This allows us to assess potential impacts, communicate changes internally, and prepare our teams accordingly. Unfortunately, with Sage Construction Management, we’ve found ourselves in a reactive position—release notes arrive after updates are already live in our production environment, and there is no test environment available to validate changes beforehand.
Release notes is a complex subject. Our content team is currently updating and changing Release notes up to the hours before the release. Last month we made a draft of the release notes available about 48 hours before the release. However, they are subject to change. The content team is also adding and editing release notes for a week or two after the release, especially if a fix/patch is added after the official Release.
When we meet next, please remind me to comment on a new feature that we are considering specifically for Partners.
