----------------------------------------
Hi Lily,
'ant genrelnotes' will overwrite the existing RELEASE-NOTES.html. You should be
able to see that using 'svn st|diff'. Remember that you still have to edit
releaseSummary.xml for the release notes to be complete and correct.
If you look at the start and end of the fixedBugsList.txt, you should see a few
important pieces of information (this is also printed to standard out when you
run the target):
o the target release version
o the derived previous release version (this is checked against the one
entered in releaseSummary.xml)
o the derived ancestry chain (used to exclude issues)
o issue statistics (# total, # written, # disqualified, # release note)
Also included in the output is the path to the output file.
This patch doesn't touch the logic bumping the last digit. I think that is
something Rick is, or have been, working on.
Did you run 'ant genrelnotes' on Windows?
FYI, I expect there will be at least one more patch for this issue, but I'd
like to wait for Rick's further feedback as well.
Thanks,

> Somewhat simplified, the release manager (RM) must currently perform the
> following manual steps to feed the release note generate the data it needs:
> a) Create manual JIRA filter to select issues addressed by the release.
> b) Save the filter result to disk as XML.
> c) Write/modify the XML parser to be able to parse the report.
> d) Determine and record all JIRA release note attachment ids for the issues
> requiring a release note.
> By using the current version of the SOAP API (3.13.5), steps (b) to (d) can
> be removed.
