Poem

🐰 A hop, a nibble, release notes shine,
Four point twenty-two, crisp and fine.
Nav updated, pages in tow,
Appium Turbo ready to go —
I nibble docs and then I glow ✨

docs/modules/release-notes/pages/all-releases/4_22.adoc (4)

1-10: Title and hardware support section look good.

Clean AsciiDoc formatting with clear metadata and concise hardware addition.

---

30-30: Verify sample download link version aligns with 4.22 release.

The sample script link references v4.21.2 in a 4.22 release document. Confirm whether this is intentional (e.g., backported feature) or if the URL should be updated to v4.22.

---

54-84: API examples and setup guidance are well-structured.

The bash curl examples for Android and iOS include proper placeholder guidance, clear parameter usage, and expected artifact descriptions. Documentation flow from setup through result validation is clear.

---

104-134: Developer mode, scriptless, and general improvements sections are thorough.

Clear explanations of automatic Developer mode enablement with backward compatibility notes. Scriptless improvements are well-organized with specific use cases. Server version update and Biometric Authentication support are properly documented.

docs/modules/release-notes/pages/kobiton-four-latest.adoc (1)

4-4: Correctly updates latest release reference.

The include directive properly points to the new 4_22.adoc file, ensuring the "latest updates" page displays 4.22 content.

docs/modules/release-notes/nav.adoc (1)

9-9: Navigation entry correctly added for 4.22 release.

The new xref entry is properly positioned above 4_21 to maintain reverse chronological ordering. Formatting is consistent with adjacent entries.

A few changes. You can publish directly when done unless you want me to review about queuing/immediate. We stated that full docs would be available soon.
