I have a couple of issues regarding our release process.
If we do a minor release we have a Wiki page for the release. This page describes the new and noteworthy and displays a Jira query with the fixed issues. What should be do in case of a bug fix release? So far I have pasted the Jira issues in the announce email. But thinking about it, I guess we should also have a Wiki page for bug fix releases. Then there is also one place to look for all release notes.
For the 0.6 and the 0.6.1 release I have forgotten to update the release notes (changelog.txt) which are shipped with the distribution. Which shows again that things which are not automated are likely to fail. There are couple of ways we can deal with this in the future:
- Don't ship a changelog.txt. - Autogenerate the changelog.txt with a Jira query. - Just have a link to the wiki release notes in changelog.txt Thoughts? - Hans P.S. I will also update our release wiki page soon. -- Hans Dockter Gradle Project Manager http://www.gradle.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, please visit: http://xircles.codehaus.org/manage_email
