Formatable changes log as html
------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-2804
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2804
Project: Hadoop Core
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: documentation
Reporter: Nigel Daley
Assignee: Nigel Daley
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 0.17.0
We could do a better job of generating useful release notes. As a first step,
I suggest we follow Lucene's lead and add html formatting to our CHANGES.txt.
An example output is here:
http://hudson.zones.apache.org/hudson/view/Lucene/job/Lucene-trunk/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/trunk/build/docs/changes/Changes.html
This should then be included with our release documentation that is published
on the website for each release.
After this is committed, the next step is for committers to agree on a
CHANGES.txt convention that will flag major features/improvements (such as a
well placed *). Then the flagged Jira's can be further highlighted when
generating the html.
Thoughts?
