Hi All,
For this release I would like to ask you guys to throw a line or two
listing the areas your worked on that represent new or improved features.
In the past I used to dig into the JIRAs but that took forever and
always felt I was missing a lot. So, this time it would be great to
hear it "directly from the horse's mouth". ;-)
Let's try consolidate in this thread a list with all the new features,
updates and improvements.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers!
Hernan
This is a good idea. The Apache HTTP Server maintains a file named
"CHANGES" in the top level of each server branch in SVN for this
purpose. Check it out here:
http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/CHANGES_2.2
When a developer commits an interesting change (from an Apache HTTPD
user's perspective), he will check in a quick description in CHANGES at
the same time. Apache HTTPD users know to check out the CHANGES files
to get a quick rundown on a new release. This is a practice worthy of
emulating, in my biased humble opinion :-)
Notes:
- CHANGES grows as a stack, with newer stuff at the beginning of the file
- Security fixes are prefixed with the word "SECURITY:" Tracking
security fixes in the CHANGES file with this simple convention
eliminates an amazing number of user questions.
