Worked on the dosbox-staging/dosbox-staging repository over three months, focusing on documentation, release management, and website updates using Markdown and web content management skills. Improved release notes by restructuring sections for clarity and aligning documentation with user-centric categories, which enhanced onboarding and traceability. Updated website release pages and front page to reflect new stable versions across Linux, macOS, and Windows, ensuring download links and release references remained accurate. Finalized and published release notes for version 0.82.1, addressed packaging integrity by updating release package hashes, and corrected documentation errors, resulting in more reliable releases and reduced post-release support needs.
