-----------------------------------
Summary: Add change log for each release
Key: FALCON-2063
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FALCON-2063
Project: Falcon
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Ajay Yadava
Assignee: Ajay Yadava
As per the discussion on the mailing list we had decided to deprecate manual
additions to CHANGES.txt and generate it automatically.
I propose to use Apache YETUS for generating CHANGES and release notes and it
has following benefits.
1. Generating changes.txt from jira is much more flexible than from commit
messages. As I noted earlier also, commits can't be modified, so if a developer
forgets to attach metadata / attaches wrong metadata then generating release
notes will be incorrect.
2. Yetus provides nice markdown formatted change log with links to each issue.
They are easy to read and you can go to the jira by clicking through the github.
3. It can also automate the generation of release notes, if we add them to
corresponding JIRA.
4. We don't need to write / maintain and go through all the existing/future
learning that YETUS went through.
