Releases
Plan and track your software releases directly from Linear.
Linear Releases integrates with your CI/CD tools to precisely track the deployment environment, version, and status of every issue, giving team members and agents your full deployment context.
Issue statuses automatically update when their associated code changes land in production. See what’s live to customers, not just what’s been merged.
Write release notes for a single release or for a range of releases. Generate release notes with Linear Agent based on included issues.
Releases supports both continuous deployment and scheduled release methodologies. Add up to 5 release pipelines on Business, or unlimited on Enterprise plans. Learn more in our documentation.
Project Slack channels
We’ve added automation to our Slack integration to support common usage patterns for projects.
You can automatically create a connected channel in Slack for each new project in Linear. Project updates post to that channel, and every project member is added to the channel by default.
Admins can enable project channel creation in Slack settings.
