Good. I'm glad we are finally getting rid of those stupid ChangeLog and NEWS files. Btw, a note to ChangeLog/NEWS lovers. Stefan will update them before the release, so they will be in the tarball. Also, we'll try and have a nice web page with all of this info (when releasing). This is a good opportunity for people to try the merge --no-ff. This way stefan will be able to run "git log --first-parent" which will only list the coverletter commits, and will save him a lot of time skipping commits that make part of a change. -- Tom. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Shape the Mobile Experience: Free Subscription Software experts and developers: Be at the forefront of tech innovation.
