Hi, Those of you who (thank you!) took the time to review the first draft of the 10.5 release notes, may have noticed that I did not include a CHANGES.html. I'd like to simplify the release process by permanently eliminating the generation of a separate release notes vs. changes(.html) file.
This means that the list of fixed jira issues in the release notes includes both user-visible fixes and changes only visible or relevant to developers. I think the mechanism of having a dedicated release note for the issues that are likely to affect users and a section specially highlighting new functionality is enough to be highlight what we think will be specially interesting to users. This means that I intend to actually remove the ChangesFileGenerator and references to it, unless someone has a strong objection... This is in a way a reprise of previous discussions - for 10.3 I laboriously split out fixes that were found and fixed in the same version and issues that dealt with only test fixes; for 10.4 no CHANGES.html seems to have been created and for 10.4.2.0 the CHANGES.html was also abandoned.
