Harsh J resolved HADOOP-1684. ----------------------------- Resolution: Not A Problem Release notes are now being compiled and an editorial pass is made over them for every release as well. I believe these are at least 70% user friendly, having once been a beginner and read the release notes from 0.19 -> 0.20. The process is still done in the same way since, I believe. I do not think this JIRA is valid anymore (may be cause of time, it was opened in '07 when nutch hosted hadoop's links). Thus, Not-a-problem (anymore). > Release notes point to browsable JIRA > ------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-1684 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1684 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: documentation > Reporter: Marco Nicosia > > Currently, the web pages on lucene.apache.org/hadoop link "release notes" as > a pointer to JIRA. > http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP?report=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.project:changelog-panel > The problem with this is that JIRA's really not very user-friendly.
