I opened an issue UIMA-254 a while back that says we need release
notes, and that JIRA can generate them.
I agree we Adam, for creating release notes, we can also use JIRA, we
don't need to use my tool.
My tool is helpful when you need to to know which issues were fixed for
levels during the test for example, or when having branches/tags; what
was fixed based on such a tag/branch.
Further, I played around with the JIRA release notes generation and
figured out that the release notes are created based on the the "Fixed
Version" attribute of an issue.
So if that field contains no data, the issue is not added to the release
notes of the selected release. :-) We have about 50 fixed issues that
have no version specified in the
"Fixed Version" field. So some of them are certainly issues from the
migration of UIMA to Apache and it doesn't matter if they appear in the
release notes or not. But others, I think should appear.
So my suggestion is, that the assignee reopens these issues that should
appear in the release notes and "fixed them again" with adding the
"Fixed Version" attribute correctly.
What do others think?
