Bruno P. Kinoshita commented on JENA-896:
-----------------------------------------
I had a look at Apache Hadoop's
[HowToRelease](http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/HowToRelease) documentation, and
they use a Python script (relnotes.py) to query JIRA and create the
releasenotes.html.
Here is the gist of this [modified script for
Jena](https://gist.github.com/anonymous/3f9b6ebcc71f982e2e3e).
It produced a simple HTML, but that I think can be as useful - maybe even more
since it has the description - than our existing ReleaseNotes.txt. What do you
think? Attaching the 2.11.1 releasenotes.html. Maybe we could further adapt it
to take into consideration the component, and generate one report pert
component?
Cheers
