Show NuGet package release notes

The nuspec reference says about the releaseNotes tag

v1.5 A description of the changes made in each release of the package. This field only shows up when the Updates tab is selected and the package is an update to a previously installed package. It is displayed where the Description would normally be displayed.

I created two nuspec files, both containing (with different version tags of course)

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<package >
  <metadata>
    <id>TestReleaseNotes</id>
    <version>1.0</version>
    <authors>adrianm</authors>
    <requireLicenseAcceptance>false</requireLicenseAcceptance>
    <description>Description</description>
    <releaseNotes>Release notes</releaseNotes>
  </metadata>
  <files>
    <file src="Test.cs" target="content" />
  </files>
</package>

I installed 1.0 in VS2013 and selected the update tab but I can't see the release notes. Nuget update

What am I missing?

Solution

  • Found this out myself.

    The release notes are displayed if I open the "Manage NuGet packages" dialog from the project. manage from project
    but not when I open it from the solution.

    The behaviour is the same for my own packages as well as nuget.org
