All,
The other day during testing, I wanted to look at the changelog for
tnative and I noticed that it doesn't have release dates like Tomcat
itself does.
I'd like to add those to the changelog if possible, but I have two
questions:
Being pedantic, that is three questions. Or maybe five if I am being
*really* pedantic.
1. Is there any reason not to use the same technique as the Tomcat
changelog (e.g. rtext="[release date]")?
None I can think of.
2. What about failed releases? We don't seem to have those listed.
Not listed where? I included the skipped releases in the change logs for
the recent 2.0.x and 1.3.x releases.
3. What is the best source of truth for release dates? https://
reporter.apache.org/addrelease.html?tomcat or similar?
I'd always say the mailing list. The release date is the date of the
message that states that the release vote has passed.
A reasonable alternative could be the date files were added to dist.a.o.
The timestamps should be close but aren't always reliable. You'd need to
check the svn history to be sure. That will fail once you go back
further than the point we started to use svn to publish releases.
