It provides release notes as well

Does renovate support the lts releases?

[timja]

I assume so but we use weekly so I can't confirm

[garethjevans]

I haven't been able to find out a whole great deal of information about using renovate for jenkins plugins updates - https://docs.renovatebot.com/modules/manager/jenkins/ seems a little sparse.

It is sparse but it’s working very well for us at least, release notes are nice and it’s very quick at sending the pr

Or drive this from bom-weekly? For example it is nice that #1046 happened to pick up the right of workflow-durable-task-step and workflow-basic-steps but that was more an accident of timing; would be better to get that update via jenkinsci/bom#1770.
