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.
https://tomcat.apache.org/native-doc/miscellaneous/changelog.html
I'm not seeing the release date in the "2.0.12" heading, for example
(nor any of the previous ones).
Got it.
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.
Sure, but that requires a lot of searching :)
2.0.12 2026-01-12
2.0.9 2025-05-29
2.0.8 2024-07-24
2.0.7 2024-02-08
2.0.6 2023-10-02
2.0.5 2023-08-07
2.0.3 2023-02-13
2.0.2 2022-11-08
2.0.1 2022-07-12
1.3.4 2026-01-12
1.3.1 2024-07-24
1.3.0 2024-02-12
Missing versions should all be unreleased versions.
There are advantages to created release votes from the previous one. Not
least, consistent subjects which makes filtering in Thunderbird easy.
1.2.x would be more work as my local archive isn't complete.
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.
Okay. I would like to make sure that the release dates are making it
into the HTML changelogs going forward, and then I can opportunistically
back-fill.
Hopefully that is enough to get you started.
