# plugin/{RepoName}/releaseNotes

`GET /api/plugin/{RepoName}/releaseNotes`

Show a plugin's release notes, in whichever form it declared via `releaseNotesStyle` in its `pluginInfo.json` (see PLUGININFO_FORMAT.md): `gitRelease` (latest GitHub Release), `gitHistory` (commits not yet pulled, read from the plugin's own clone -- no GitHub API call, works for any git-hosted plugin whether or not it tags releases), or `script` (runs the plugin's own scripts/fpp_releasenotes.sh). `none` or absent: 404, nothing to show -- the Plugin Manager doesn't offer the icon in that case either, this is just the server-side half of that gate.

## Response `200`

Shape depends on `style`
