Andy Seaborne commented on JENA-896:
------------------------------------

The URL is fixed but something populates the page.  That might be script - 
looks like its JIRA.  (I wonder if our use of JIRA is clean enough for this.)

For Commons Lang, is it driven from JIRA as well, or a "changes.xml"?

We could somewhere (downloads page?) add text that explains how to use JIRA to 
find this out.  The text would be static.

It is a question of "for whom? for what? by whom?".  I'm sure it would be read 
by a some people but I also think, for Jena (unlike Hadoop), they monitor dev@ 
and/or JIRA.

Making release as lightweight as possible, encourages us to release more 
frequently. None of this is a huge burden but every little adds and things 
rarely are removed.
