Show Release RSS icon on Releases page

Release notes

Do you need to be notified about a new release being posted? GitLab now provides an RSS feed about the releases. You can subscribe to a release feed using the RSS icon on the project release page.

Thanks to Martin Schurz for the contribution!

Problem to solve

Currently, GitLab doesn't provide RSS feed for Releases. This is important for users to get notified on the latest releases.

Intended users

Everyone. Developers, interested users, news websites following projects and so on.

Proposal

• Introduce RSS feed for Releases.
• Define the schema for releases, like ATOM builder for Git-Tags.
• Extend the ReleasesController#index endpoint for atom format, like https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/app/controllers/projects/tags_controller.rb#L45.
• Show an RSS icon at the top of the project-level Releases page.
