 Well, having a link to the changelog directly from the announcement
 (email and jakarta news) and maybe putting a link directly from the
 tomcat menu would be my only suggestions. However, after thinking about
 it, putting the links under the documentation is perfectly alright, I
 was just used to seeing it more directly before. Definately my fault for

Hi, 

It's time consuming to keep those documentations and I really appreciate
the time and effort spent by the people who maintain them.

Just some suggestions to consider:

Why not just keep the README in the distribution? It may include the
URLs that specify the highlights, caveats, CHANGELOG, etc.

In this case the developers just need to maintain the web contents and
they are so much easier to manage this way :)

Rgds,

 I'd love to see the Tomcat docs download links to be re-pointed to an
 actual Tomcat download directory, rather than the generic 'all' page for
 jakarta downloads.
  
 ie: http://jakarta.apache.org/site/sourceindex.cgi
 
 The links for downloads are direct to the zip files. The only way I can
 get to see the changelog, is to click 'tomcat 3' (which thankfully is
 still linked).  This gets me to:
  http://apache.mirror.secondchapter.info/jakarta/tomcat-3/v3.3.2/src/
 Then I click 'Parent Directory' 3 times
 Then I can click Tomcat 4 or tomcat 5, as I want.
 
 So,
 
 1) the Tomcat docs download links should point to the actual
 directories from which I can download things, not just the generic
 jakarta page.
 2) on the generic jakarta page, please link the tomcat 4 and tomcat
 5 to those directories as well.
  
 I have also been frustrated at finding that changelog thingy.

Hi,
It IS included in the release (both source and binary), under the
tomcat-docs directory.  If you didn't know where it was, a find command
looking for *change* or *log* would show you.  It's also on the download
pages for the tomcat releases (both source and binaries, it's the same
page, e.g. http://apache.mirrors.hoobly.com/jakarta/tomcat-5/v5.0.24/).
So if you can't find it by looking on our web site, can't find it from
these top-level links on the download pages, and can't find it by
looking through the docs, I'm sorry, I have little emotion but pity.

Hi,
Its rather obvious that all the work done on Tomcat is on a volunteer 
basis, wiht no paid staff. I never said it was. And I did do my 
homework. All I did was ask a simple question on the mailinglist. Nobody 
forced them to donate additional time and energy to my project, whatever 
that means. I was simply frustrated to not be able to find the changelog 
in what I considered the usual places. I happen to use a fairly large 
amount of open source software, so I have an idea of how the process 
works, and understand how valuable their time is. I'd rather they spend 
their time developing and let another user tell me where the changelog 
is, without having to be insulted (since not being able to find 
something is a clear sign of not doing your somework and deserving 
someone's pity?). But whatever,  I don't care, I know where the 
changelog is now, and hope to someday tell somebody else who can't find 
it where it is without being a dick about it.

I was simply frustrated it wasn't in a more prominent place. So why 
don't you stop being a smartass and just consider putting the changelog 
in a more prominent place so new users interested in the project, but 
not necessarily familiar with it, can try to become informed users. 
Logically, of course.

Where is the changelog? I've searched the site _and_ the release (binary 
and source). How about making the changelog easy to find or providing a 
link instead of just saying to look at it? Thanks.

Hi,

 The Tomcat Team announces the immediate availability of Apache Tomcat
 5.0.24 Stable.

 Please refer to the changelog for the list of changes.

Where is the changelog? I've searched the site _and_ the release
(binary
and source). How about making the changelog easy to find or providing a
link instead of just saying to look at it? Thanks.

The changelog is where it's always been since we've started publishing
it, on the front page of the docs, in the left-hand navigation bar, near
the bottom.  Since your search skills are clearly lacking, here's a
direct URL:
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/changelog.html.

We had such a good day on the list, all competent and professional
posts, and then comes this one to ruin my optimism about people in this
otherwise sunny afternoon.

Hey, don't get pissy with me. How was I supposed to know where it was? 
Just because you have put it in the same place... doesn't mean people 
new to Tomcat know where it is. Putting the changelog for a new release 
on the bottom left on a documentation page isn't exactly easy to find, 
so I'd thank you to not be an ass and act like I'm some kind of 
deficient person.

LOL...Dude it wasn't what you asked...but how you asked it.  Don't get
pissy when asking for free help on a free product.

Have a good weekend everyone!

The change log used (it still is in TC 4) to be included in the
RELEASE-NOTES file which I thought was also a decent place to have it... 
How about adding a note to the RELEASE-NOTES file to look in the
webapps/tomcat-docs/changelog.html file or something as it seems
appropriate to at least reference the changes from the last release in the
release notes.
