* docs: add Verawood dev/operator release notes content Populate the Verawood dev/operator release notes with breaking changes, deprecations & removals, Aspects analytics, and administrators & operators sections. * docs: sync Verawood dev/operator release notes with wiki updates Integrate additions and corrections made to the Verawood Operator Release Notes wiki page since the notes were first drafted here. - Correct the Upgrade/upsell widget entry: it is enabled by default in Verawood, and the config keys and slot names it documented were out of date. - Note that notifications and notification emails are now enabled by default via new opt-out waffle flags. - Document removal of course-level notification preferences, the is_core preference flag, and the V2 notification preferences config API. - Expand the send_email_digest deprecation entry with the new daily and weekly digest scheduling settings. - Document new operator-facing notification settings: instance-level preference overrides, the immediate-email buffer window, and ORA reminder notifications. - Add the Frontend-base and Loading External Scripts sections, which were present on the wiki page but missing from these notes. Refs: https://openedx.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/COMM/pages/5331222534/Verawood+-+Operator+Release+Notes Refs openedx/wg-build-test-release#610 * Update source/community/release_notes/verawood/dev_op_release_notes.rst Co-authored-by: Maria Grimaldi (Majo) <maria.grimaldi@edunext.co> * docs: add RBAC AuthZ for Course Authoring to Verawood release notes Adds a new entry under Administrators & Operators covering the authz.enable_course_authoring waffle flag (course/org/global levels), the migration and rollback management commands, the opt-in automatic migration setting, the audit trail, and a known caveat around Admin Console course visibility, including the flag-resolution behavior added in openedx/frontend-app-admin-console#176. * docs: add a Migrations to be aware of section to Verawood release notes Several migrations in this release touch existing data at scale, run automatically without an explicit opt-in, or can fail depending on instance data history. Consolidate the existing course-ID case sensitivity callout with four newly identified ones (MariaDB UUID conversion, AuthZ course-authoring role migration, catalog course/run backfill, and enterprise academies auto-enable) into one dedicated, top-level section so operators can find them ahead of an upgrade.

@mariajgrimaldi @feoh just FYI, I'm going to be merging the operator release notes to main as part of a set of stacked PRs all at once. |
