Another similar change I've noticed recently in so far as release notes and details of changes go is this - release notes for 15.1(4)M9:

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/ios/15_1/release/notes/15_1m_and_t/151-4MCAVS.html#pgfId-62747

"All resolved bugs for this release are available in the Cisco Bug Search Tool through the fixed bug search."

For that release the release notes just point to the Bug Search Tool on CCO. Which for me I find an abominable tool in all browsers - it's slow, really kills performance on all other open browser windows as well and the Load Saved Search function is just unusable - it tries to emulate real menus but fails badly (things need to be double clicked to work, it doesn't work well if you have folders and bugs saved in any sort of hierarchy for example).

I hope that the pointing to BST for details at the expense of listed summaries is not a strategy that is going to be deployed across the board for other release notes. There's a lot to be said for being able to quickly skim through the open P1 and P2 caveats of a new release in a plain HTML page.

<tongue-in-cheek>
It's probably a good candidate function/feature that could be replaced by another classy Java/JRE app on the CCO website ;)

Hi Folks -

We definitely appreciate the feedback and will put some thought into
how we can satisfy this request.  Behind the scenes, we’ve moved to a
very different infrastructure for compiling vulnerability information
for each IOS release, which allows us to greatly improve our ability
to show granular, real-time exposure vs. a 6-month static snapshot.

The compromise that we always struggled with in the tables was the
lack of release-level granularity, especially given the depth of
branching in some (many) IOS trains.

We’ll put our heads together and kick around some ideas for how we
can provide some quick-reference, summary information, though it’s
unlikely we’ll be able to do anything in short order for this
bundle.

Thanks again for the feedback.

Clay

IOS Software Checker is a nice tool, do keep it. But for the
"helicopter view" the comprehensive list is a really great help.

This! +1
