I'm not sure what the history is or possible future plans. It does seem useful to at least highlight some major features in the ReleaseNotes or ChangeLog, though perhaps we could reduce the level of detail and put the content in the ReleaseNotes rather than the ChangeLog. I also question whether we need to continue to maintain the ChangeLog file in the repository when it could just contain a link to the ChangeLog or ReleaseNotes on the wiki. Also, in order to facilitate timely releases I'm going to aim to have no more than 5 or so tickets in the upcoming milestones assigned to myself at any given time. Currently I have several dozen tickets assigned to myself for the upcoming milestones and I'll be paring down this list in the coming weeks. With fewer tickets in the upcoming milestones (and therefore more tickets in the "next-stable-1.0.x" and related milestones), I expect it will be easier to wrap things up and generate a release. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Trac Development" group.
