Uwe Schindler commented on LUCENE-4943:
---------------------------------------
+1 to have a better upgrading section (and the original issues just spread
around the other sections like API changes, new Features,...), but we have it
somehow already: MIGRATE.txt (currently it only contains migration to 4.0 (or
5.0 on trunk).
> remove 'Changes to Backwards Compatibility Policy' from lucene/CHANGES.txt

> CHANGES.txt is useful to summarize the changes in a release.
> However its expected that a lot of changes will impact the APIs, this
> currently hurts the quality of CHANGES.txt because it leads to a significant
> portion of changes (whether they be bugs, features, whatever) being grouped
> under this one title.
> It also leads to descriptions of CHANGES being unnecessarily verbose.
> I think it makes CHANGES confusing and overwhelming, and it would be better
> to have a simpler 'upgrading' section with practical information on what you
> actually need to do (like Solr's CHANGES.txt).
