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
Touché.
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.
It is.
For anyone playing along at home, the XSL templates for this are in the
website project and not tomcat-native which is great because they work
exactly the same as for the Tomcat releases. Upshot: I can just add
"rtext" and I'm basically done.
The formats of the two changelogs are slightly different:
https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-11.0-doc/changelog.html
https://tomcat.apache.org/native-doc/miscellaneous/changelog.html
Any objections to removing the "Changes in" verbiage from each of the
versions, so only the version number appears?
The Tomcat changelog includes the release manager for each release. Is
there any appetite to add that information to the tcnative releases?
