Re: Solr: "Upgrade Notes" no longer in CHANGES.txt; See Ref Guide

Thanks David, that helps.

For sure we’ll have a separate page for 9.0, likely along the lines as we have 
for 6, 7, and 8. Maybe also starting in 9.0 I’ll revisit the idea of doing 
separate upgrade note pages too, but won’t do it now.

Yes I think so.  This really should be strictly a major highlights kind of
info -- somewhat brief.  We rely on the ref guide + CHANGES.txt for deeper
info.

Drop entirely IMO.  We have separate pages with info for ZK & Java which
are probably the only pertinent version numbers of related software.

No opinion; your call.  Maybe start a new page at 9.0.

Re: Solr: "Upgrade Notes" no longer in CHANGES.txt; See Ref Guide

2020-03-03 Thread Cassandra Targett
I’m just finally getting around to looking at this to prep for 8.5. Thanks 
David & Jan for working on this, I think it will help.

I have a few questions for this release:

The Release Notes (feature/improvement highlights) will still be in CWIKI, 
right (even if just for now)?

Do we want to try to include the Version of Major Components section in the Ref 
Guide, or are we dropping it entirely?

Do we want to try to separate out the upgrade notes for each version into 
separate pages at this point, or also save that as a possibility for later?

Thanks again -

Cassandra
