Hi folks,
I would suggest to move the content into a "changes.xml" which is the
input of a HTML report when the site is generated (using Maven). It is
also a good place to name contributors ... :-). It can be also used to
generate parts of the release notes.
Check out

Cheers,

I have always found this Changelog a very convenient mechanism of searching
for "what has changed when in what version".
You have it one file, easily searchable and scrollable.
The overhead is minimal, always cut/paste the Changelog update to the
commit log.
I agree that mentioned links provide all information (and more), but not so
easy to search, you always have to click a hundred times before you find
what you want.
kind regards,
Harry

Hi team, we have a "ChangeLog" file in the root folder that is apparently
(?) updated whenever someone makes a commit. I don't see a need for it,
and none of the other Apache projects I'm aware of bothers with such a file
-- it's annoying needing to update it and it just seems to be unnecessary
overhead. Can we get rid of it?
So long as you make comments when you commit, here is a 100.0%
authoritative and chronological list of all commits made and what they
involve:
http://mail-archives.apache.**org/mod_mbox/incubator-**
jspwiki-commits/201301.mbox/**browser<http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-jspwiki-commits/201301.mbox/browser>
And of course the SVN repository details the changes made to each specific
file fully and accurately:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/**incubator/jspwiki/trunk/src/**
webdocs/Error.jsp?view=log<http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/incubator/jspwiki/trunk/src/webdocs/Error.jsp?view=log>
Finally, JIRA nicely provides us a list of commits per release:
https://issues.apache.org/**jira/browse/JSPWIKI#**
selectedTab=com.atlassian.**jira.plugin.system.project%**3Achangelog-panel<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JSPWIKI#selectedTab=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.project%3Achangelog-panel>
That should be good enough for us. WDYT?
Regards,
Glen
