At some point, I will need to bundle Release Notes into the 10.2
distributions. Here's a proposal for what I need to do:
1) Create a new top-level text file next to LICENSE and README. I'd like
to call this file RELEASE-NOTES.
2) Fill up this file with the following three sections:
a) Features. These would be brief descriptions culled from the summary
table on the snapshot wiki page:
http://wiki.apache.org/db-derby/TenTwoSnapshot
b) Release notes proper. These would be the release notes visible
through the following JIRA filter:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?mode=hide&requestId=12311198.
Currently, 22 notes appear in this filter.
3) Bug fixes. These would be the one line summaries from issues visible
through the following JIRA filter:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?mode=hide&requestId=12311199.
Currently, 373 issues appear in this filter. I think I can discard the
following:
a) issues which users wouldn't see, such as code cleanup tasks
b) bug fixes also applied to 10.1.3.1
I would like your advice:
A) Overall, does this sound like a reasonable approach?
B) Are these filters the right ones or should I edit them?
C) Any tips about how to make this easier?
Thanks,
-Rick
