Jason van Zyl closed MNG-2296.
------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
> Display what has changed since last release upon updating a plugin to a new
> version
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MNG-2296
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2296
> Project: Maven 2 & 3
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Artifacts and Repositories
> Affects Versions: 2.0.4
> Reporter: Cédric Vidal
> Fix For: 3.x
>
>
> Today, when a new version of a plugin is released, it is automatically
> downloaded and this is great because it keeps you up to date. For example,
> this morning, a new version of the WAR plugin was released on ibiblio (I had
> 2.0-beta-2 previously), I got the following trace:
> --
> [INFO] artifact org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-war-plugin: checking for
> updates from ibiblio
> Downloading:
> http://www.ibiblio.org/maven2/org/apache/maven/plugins/maven-war-plugin/2.0/maven-war-plugin-2.0.pom
> 1/1K
> 1K downloaded
> Downloading:
> http://www.ibiblio.org/maven2/org/apache/maven/plugins/maven-war-plugin/2.0/maven-war-plugin-2.0.jar
> 1/21K
> 21/21K
> 21K downloaded
> --
> The thing is I got no clue whatsoever of what has changed between versions
> 2.0-beta-2 and 2.0. If I want to know was has changed, I have to manually go
> on the maven site or in the JIRA to figure out what has changed.
> It would be great if the list of changes that occured between between the
> version which was previously locally installed and the newly installed was
> displayed upon update as part of the build.
> The trace could be:
> --
> [INFO] artifact org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-war-plugin: checking for
> updates from ibiblio
> Downloading:
> http://www.ibiblio.org/maven2/org/apache/maven/plugins/maven-war-plugin/2.0/maven-war-plugin-2.0.pom
> 1/1K
> 1K downloaded
> Downloading:
> http://www.ibiblio.org/maven2/org/apache/maven/plugins/maven-war-plugin/2.0/maven-war-plugin-2.0.jar
> 1/21K
> 21/21K
> 21K downloaded
> [INFO] Changes that occured between version 2.0-beta-2 and 2.0 are:
> o Added blah blah.
> o Corrected bug blah blah.
> o Removed blah blah.
> --
> This feature might depend on adding the list of changes to the POM, which
> might be an issue since Maven is stable now. But that might not be such a bug
> deal since that POM information would most likely be optional.
> The changes part of the POM could be structured like Maven 1 Changes plugin's
> changes.xml file:
> http://maven.apache.org/maven-1.x/plugins/changes/
> <releases>
> <release version="2.0" date="in CVS">
> <action dev="vmassol" type="update">
> Blah blah.
> </action>
> </release>
> <release version="1.0" date="2003-06-05" description ="First stable
> release.">
> <action dev="vmassol" type="add">
> Added blah blah.
> </action>
> <action dev="vmassol" type="fix" issue="JIRA-XXX">
> Corrected bug blah blah.
> </action>
> <action dev="vmassol" type="remove" due-to="John Doe"
> due-to-email="[email protected]">
> Removed blah blah.
> </action>
> </release>
> </releases>
