For the final release we should try and list major new features since 6.2. see http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.grass.devel/24802/ For more detail tools/cvs2cl.pl (or svn equivalent) can produce the changelog back to 6.3.0 branch creation, and before that date from the point 6.2.0 branched away from HEAD. see: http://grass.gdf-hannover.de/wiki/GRASS_6.2_Feature_Plan#TODO In the past the release manager put the Changelog in the release ..tar.gz and the shorter inter-release changelog was posted to the website after that. > 3) There are milestones for rc1:rc3, but not for rc4. > http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/milestone/6.3.0RC3 > I think milestone for 6.3.0 would be enough here, milestones for each > RC are not necessary I think and maybe confusing when reporting the > new ticket? I agree, just one milestone for 6.3.0 is enough.
