The things Gregg said... The way that OCF uses Change Requests to get a change discussed and agreed before being tied to a bugzilla entry to actually implement it makes a nice distinction that I've seen used many other places (consider Python's PEP as just one example). If we have that for iotivity, that would make release note generation a lot nicer - a list of jira tickets closed isn't necessarily that useful by itself, they tell me what was done but only sometimes hint at functional changes/additions, and the granularity is often diffrent. I'm not convinced a list of git commits is useful at all (that can easily be obtained if someone wants it. if you like you can include the git command that would generate the list). -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
