Re: [All] What belongs to "changes.xml"

I'm inclined to agree with Gilles that updates to plugins should only
be noted where they affect users of the code, i.e. direct
dependencies.

The useful changes are being shouted down by the various plugin changes.

In particular, updates to actions are completely irrelevant as they
only affect our GitHub installation.

IMO, each component can do as it best sees fit. I like the idea of the file
being a summary of all changes. RE updates to dependencies and plugins,
these will matter to some but not others, it depends on how you use the
component. I see it as making visible and transparent the kind of attention
to detail we have (or not).

[All] What belongs to "changes.xml"

2021-10-29 Thread Gilles Sadowski
Hello.

Referring to e.g. the recent
   https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-cli/changes-report.html
I notice that almost half the reported changes concern build's plugins
updates.
Shouldn't "changes.xml" only report modifications of the code source, i.e.
things that are of direct interest to users of the component?

Regards,
Gilles
