Didn't find any issues for version

Error message

Didn't find any issues for version {version}

What it means

Same source site and condition as error 118: release/notes.py:generate raises when the Jira query `project=KAFKA and fixVersion=<version>` returns no issues. The two catalogue entries differ only in how the placeholder is rendered in the message (the literal {} vs the interpolated name); the underlying failure is identical - no Jira issue carries the given fixVersion.

Solutions

1. Match the exact fixVersion string shown in Jira when calling generate(version).
2. Tag at least one issue with the fixVersion before generating notes.
3. Verify Jira connectivity/credentials used by release/notes.py.
4. Search Jira directly (`fixVersion = "<version>"`) to confirm the expected issue set before invoking the script.

Example fix

# before
notes.generate("3.7")  # Jira fixVersion is "3.7.0" -> Exception

# after
notes.generate("3.7.0")

issues = query(f"project=KAFKA and fixVersion={version}")
if not issues:
    raise SystemExit(f"No Jira issues for fixVersion '{version}'. Verify the name in Jira.")
generate(version)

null

try:
    notes.generate(version)
except Exception as e:
    print(f"{e}; confirm fixVersion '{version}' exists in Jira", file=sys.stderr)
    raise

When it happens

Trigger: generate(version) where version is not a fixVersion on any KAFKA Jira issue (wrong name, unplanned release, or Jira auth/query problem).

Common situations: Version string mismatch with Jira's fixVersion naming; running the tool before issues are tagged; Jira credentials/connection issue causing an empty result.
