OK, those with permissions can directly update this document:
https://github.com/AndBible/and-bible/wiki/v4.0-Release-Notes

Those who don't have permissions can add their suggestions to this ticket and I will transfer them across.

If we can collate a list fairly quickly I will try and make a video that goes over as many as possible.

[agrogers]

Hmm, not sure how friendly it is to multiple people editing it at the same time. Might need to be a little careful.

[tuomas2]

Google docs is friendly :-)

[agrogers]

Yes, very friendly. I have added all mine to the wiki now. If someone creates a Google doc let me know.

I think 3.3 vs 4.0 is what release notes should be. Some of it is, but I also see some lines that look more like "early beta" vs "release" (especially in the "improved features" section). For reference, release notes for 3.3 are here (maybe there's more somewhere?).

Also, I think some of the lines could be joined together. To do that, maybe it would work to use a format something like: "New logo (#1568)". That way more issue numbers could be added to the same line.

Because my idea would be a major change to the current format, I'll redo the list here and I'll let @agrogers and @tuomas2 decide on how to do it. I have not mentioned all items, because I think very minor issues don't need to be on release notes.

New Features

• New logo, new menu icons (#1227, #1568, #1293, #1329, #1335, #1400, #1453, #1454)

I think that's excellent. Are the links clickable in Play Store? If not then I'm guessing such long links are pretty much useless, but probably doesn't hurt to have them still.

[agrogers]

Looks good to me
