While prepping 3.0.0 for release, I noticed that our old method of pulling up PRs for the release notes, changelog.pl, no longer functions properly. It relies upon tagging we no longer use. So the way I see it, we have two options:
1. Some sort of script that pulls down the PRs since x date (the date of the last release’s first RC) and then somehow strips the backports that are in the last release as well as the PRs since the current release’s first RC that were not backported. 2. We use the changelog. For this release, we’ll want folks to check the changelog to make sure nothing is missing of theirs. For future releases, we continue the debate about how we build a proper changelog and finalize something. Anything. I welcome everyone’s thoughts, and hope we can get this sorted out ASAP so we can get 3.0.0 into the world. It’s the last step. Derek
