Hello @Oreoxmt, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

Summary of Changes

Hello! gemini-code-assist here, providing a summary of this pull request.

Based on the title and the changes in the patch, this PR aims to update the releases/release-9.0.0.md document to include placeholders for new features introduced in the v9.0-beta.2 release. The description is minimal, but the title and patch content clearly indicate the purpose is to prepare the release notes for documenting these new features across various categories like Scalability, Performance, Availability, Reliability, SQL, DB operations, Observability, Security, and Data migration.

Highlights

  • Release Notes Update: Adds placeholder entries to the v9.0.0 release notes document (releases/release-9.0.0.md) to mark spots for new features from the v9.0-beta.2 release.
  • Placeholder Structure: Each placeholder includes generic text prompting for a feature summary, value proposition, usage instructions, important aspects, and a link to documentation. They also include placeholders for issue numbers, contributor IDs, and a beta.2 marker.
  • Categorization: Placeholders are added under existing sections such as Scalability, Performance, Availability, Reliability, SQL, DB operations, Observability, Security, and Data migration, indicating that new features in beta.2 fall into these areas.

Changelog

  • releases/release-9.0.0.md
    • Added multiple placeholder entries for new features from v9.0-beta.2 under various sections (Scalability, Performance, Availability, Reliability, SQL, DB operations, Observability, Security, Data migration).
    • Each placeholder includes generic text and markers for issue links, contributor IDs, and documentation links, to be filled in later.

Code Review

This pull request adds placeholders for new features in the v9.0.0 release notes, specifically for v9.0-beta.2. The structure of the added placeholders is clear and consistent across different sections, providing good guidance for technical writers who will fill in the details later.

To improve the PR, please consider the following:

  1. PR Description: The "What is changed, added or deleted?" section in the PR description is currently empty. It would be helpful to briefly describe the changes made (e.g., "Added placeholders for v9.0-beta.2 features to the v9.0.0 release notes.").
  2. Affected TiDB Version: The "Which TiDB version(s) do your changes apply to?" checklist in the PR description is not filled. Please tick the appropriate version, which appears to be v9.0.

Overall, the changes in the release notes file itself are well-executed for their purpose.

Style Guide Adherence

The review was guided by the 'Documentation Review Style Guide'. Specifically, I checked for:

  • Clarity and simplicity of the added placeholder text (Style Guide Lines 14, 21).
  • Correct Markdown formatting, such as blank lines around list items (Style Guide Line 38).
  • Adherence to heading structure (Style Guide Line 39).

Summary of Findings

  • PR Description Incomplete: The PR description should be updated to include what was changed and which TiDB versions are affected. This helps reviewers and maintainers understand the PR's scope and impact more quickly.
  • Placeholder Quality: The added placeholders are clear, consistent, and well-structured, effectively guiding the content creation for new features in the release notes.

Merge Readiness

The changes to the release notes file are in good shape for adding placeholders. I recommend updating the PR description (detailing changes and affected TiDB version) before merging. As per my instructions, I am not authorized to approve pull requests, so please ensure other reviewers approve this PR before merging.

The placeholder structure is well-defined and provides clear instructions for the content that needs to be added for each feature. The use of specific prompts for the overview, user value, usage, and important aspects is helpful. The Markdown formatting also adheres to the style guide regarding blank lines around list items.1

This consistent placeholder format will be beneficial for the technical writers filling in the release notes.
