Sorry, "changeLog" was probably the wrong name. I meant a Commit log, which included a unique number for each CVS commit. This could be sanitised to create sensible release notes (including a change-log). The main thing I'd like is unique build numbers, so that we can tell *exactly* what code is running. I'm sure this can be automated with some tricky CVS integration, but having played with the CVS mailer before, I'm not too keen on delving into those nasty Perl scripts again. ;) I'd be just as happy with a rule that said - "when you commit changes to CVS, you bump the build number in file XXX". (Or run some Ant target, which itself bumps the number). I know this enforces discipline on the developers, but I don't know of any other simple way to do it. ciao Daz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
