It’s typically a mess: some people move CHANGES entries on the unstable and stable branches when they backport to point releases, some don't. There’s a TODO item for the release manager to sync CHANGES post-release: <https://wiki.apache.org/lucene-java/ReleaseTodo#Synchronize_CHANGES.txt>. It’s complicated by the fact that entries should never be removed from *released* versions, so issues backported to a point release for an older branch typically don’t ever trigger *removal* of duplicate entries elsewhere, just copy/paste of the point release’s section into the stable & unstable branches’ CHANGES. -- Steve www.lucidworks.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
