------------------------------------
[~abayer] Does linking to the release notes resolve this issue?
> Come up with some way of automating generation of release notes in a useful
> format

> We currently have manually generated release notes, based on commit logs.
> It'd be nice to have this at least partially automated. On one side, we can
> use JIRA to spit out text or HTML for issues fixed in a given release - go to
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ConfigureReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=12324412
> and choose the version you want, and tada. That's definitely something that
> should be part of any release note generation, since it covers non-commit
> issues as well as code changes for JIRAs. But something that can pillage git
> history and spit out a useful format would be handy as well.
> We've got some tooling here at Cloudera that we use for generating CDH
> release notes, focusing on the diffs between the upstream ASF release and
> what we actually ship (see
> http://archive.cloudera.com/cdh4/cdh/4/flume-ng-1.3.0-cdh4.3.0.releasenotes.html,
> e.g.) - but while we don't have a need for that particular behavior, there
> are bits in the tooling that could be useful - i.e., finding JIRA references
> in commit logs and fetching links/summaries/etc on those JIRA issues from
> issues.apache.org. I'll have to check to make sure we can reuse the
> particular code we have here in jclouds, but even if Cloudera won't let us
> for some reason, it wouldn't be hard to clean-room reimplement. =)
