Hello, General announcement question I have. I like getting announcem...@jakarta emails, as it allows me to passively keep abreast of new releases. What I like even more is when announcements have a link to release notes of some kind, so I can have a look at and quickly get an idea about the project's direction, velocity, focus, maturity, etc. without being intimately familiar with the project.
For example, I just got an email about Mailet 2.4 release, but there was no link to release notes or a JIRA link that might show what was done between 2.3 and 2.4. I couldn't find any information on the site either. So, my questions are: Maybe I just don't know where to look? Am I the only one who would love to see projects' release notes? Is there an easy way to get projects to include this type of information in releases and make it easily accessible (i.e. don't require me to download, unpackage, and look for a specific file) Here is a Lucene example: http://lucene.apache.org/java/docs/index.html#8+October+2008+-+Lucene+Java+2.4.0+available With even more detail here: http://lucene.apache.org/java/2_4_0/changes/Changes.html (hm, now I wonder if it would be useful for other projects to copy this functionality) Otis -- Sematext -- http://sematext.com/ -- Lucene - Solr - Nutch --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@jakarta.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@jakarta.apache.org
