Comment(by jhpalmieri):
I think that for release notes, we could just have a document which says
something like "Please see
http://sagemath.org/mirror/src/changelogs/sage-$VERSION.txt for a list of
recent changes." Or we could use the link
"http://sagemath.org/mirror/src/changelogs/"; and then we wouldn't have to
update it. This also provides easy access to older changelogs (which the
$VERSION.txt doesn't, and notice it's just a text file -- no links to the
parent directory or older changelogs). Opinions? We could also add the
link "http://wiki.sagemath.org/ReleaseTours/";, although this hasn't been
updated in a while.
I like the generic option better. But notice that this file won't be
auto-generated by "sage -sdist" or any other script, and it should
probably be under revision control. This is not the right ticket for
adding new files to the top directory, or for modifying existing files, so
I think this should go elsewhere.
I also agree that a VERSION.txt file is a good idea. Since we can
automatically generate this, and since it shouldn't be under revision
control, I think we can do it on this ticket. It should just require
modifying sage-sdist and sage-bdist. I'll try towork on this some time
soon.
