For existing users looking to upgrade from any version, I encourage them
to review all the intervening release notes for a list of changes that
might affect their application. Some users do this quite diligently and
I would like to find a way to add on release notes which should have
been added earlier once discovered. An example of this is the type
change of the CARDINALITY and PAGES columns of getIndexInfo() changed
in DERBY-6000 and the new security manager permissions required by
DERBY-5363.
My hope would be that these release notes could be added to the 10.10.2
release notes when that release comes out. My thought is to just add a
Jira Task with title "Add omitted 10.x.x release note: <Description>" e.g.
Add omitted 10.10.1 release note: getIndexInfo() columns CARDINALITY AND
PAGES type change to BIGINT with DERBY-6000
And then just attach the release note to that issue and resolve for
10.10.2 so it gets picked up.
Does this sound like a good solution?
