Hi @davidhassell, @erget, all - In the current `history.doc`, the
release/version history is hard to scan while the change/issue history is easy
(though verbose) to scan. Whether dates are only on releases or on both
releases and change/issue, I would like to suggest we move towards a "Release
See issue #XXX for discussion of these changes.
To do before completion of this PR:
- [ ] @AndersMS finish appendix after coordinate system rotation

The slightly embarrassing answer is biological_taxon_lsid. However, this will
fail compliance checkers because the defect correction specified above last
November still hasn't been actioned. I did issue an e-mail reminder and was
promised it would be in the next Standard Name update which I

I don't know. I had thought that we would merge PRs into master at the time of
their acceptance, so that future PRs for the same next release can build on
the accepted changes.
I may well have misunderstood things, apologies if so, but in any event, if we
say "Set the date when
@davidhassell the author checklist looks correct for me. From my side I have 1
more question about the merger checklist - does `history.adoc` get its date
updated when merged, or when tagged? My understanding is that we might merge
multiple PRs into a tag-ready branch, but then only tag it when
Sounds good, thanks. How about:
Author checklist
- [ ] Authors updated in cf-conventions.adoc?
