 title: Releases
 meta_desc: A running log of major platform updates from the Pulumi team.

+# JSON -> /releases/index.json (layouts/releases/list.json)
+# RSS  -> /releases/rss.xml    (layouts/releases/rss.xml)
+outputs:

+# A single, newest-first list of release-page entries. Each entry has a `type`:
+#   - updates:   a lightweight month of items, rendered inline on the list page
+#                as <details> disclosures. Each item: { title, description, url?, tier? }
+#                — description is required.
+#   - release:   a pointer to a full release. Everything else — the card's title,
+#                description, and image, plus the feed's items (sourced from the
+#                detail page's section cards: title, description, url, tier) — is
+#                read from the detail page at `url`. Only `date` (for ordering)
+#                and `url` live here, so there is nothing to hand-sync.
+# The list page, JSON (/releases/index.json), and RSS (/releases/rss.xml) all
+# render from this array, sorted by `date` descending (newest month first).

+    Releases Updates
+
+    A lightweight, card-less list of one month's update items. A small
+    uppercase mono overline (the month label) sits above the list. Each item is
+    a native <details> disclosure: the <summary> row shows the title + optional
+    tier badge + a chevron, and expanding it reveals a one-sentence description
+    with an inline "Read more" link when the item has a url. Using <summary> as
+    the toggle keeps the link a plain in-body <a>, so the two never fight over
+    the click. No JS — matches the no-JS partial convention on /releases.
+    /releases is not a /docs page, so no dark-mode tokens are needed.
+
+    Parameters:
+    - label:  Overline text (e.g., "June 2026").
+    - items:  Slice of maps: { title, description, url?, tier? }. description is required.
