Hi Dyre,

Where would I go to find the latest version of the 10.4 release notes?
The version bundled with the 10.4 beta seems to be sketchy. What's
checked into the 10.4 branch appears to be a preliminary version of
the 10.3 release notes. In the past, we've done a bad job of giving
the release manager timely feedback on the release notes. The result
has been that the release manager has had to re-spin release
candidates just to correct the notes. I was hoping that we could give
you timelier feedback this time around.

My recommendation would be for you to check your latest version into
the 10.4 branch. As people give you feedback this week, you can check
in improved versions. However, if you are publishing your interim
version someplace else, that can work too.

I'm on it, but so far the release notes don't appear to be compatible
with our release note machinery:
genrelnotes:
[generateReleaseNotes] [Fatal Error] :86:95: The element type "br" must be terminated by the 
matching end-tag "</br>".
[generateReleaseNotes] The following JIRA issues still need release notes or 
the release notes provided are unreadable:

[generateReleaseNotes] The following other errors occurred:

Can those working on the relevant issues please take a look?

Thanks,

Hi Dyre,

I have fixed most of these issues as follows:

DERBY-3073: I unchecked the "Existing Application Impact" and "Release Note Needed" because this work has been disabled on the 10.4 branch,.

DERBY-2925: I renamed the release note to be "releaseNote.html", which is the file name expected by the release notes generator.

DERBY-2351: I fixed some markup which choked the xml parser.

The remaining issue in your list is DERBY-3023. There may be some confusion here. In previous releases, we only expected to see release notes for issues which had "Release Note Needed". This issue does not have that box marked and the issue doesn't have a release note. However, looking at the description of the issue, I could see a case for wanting a release note for this one. I will send another mail message re-stating the question you posed on this issue two weeks ago.

Regards,
-Rick
