Did 4.0 get released somehow without me noticing? Users don't need to see whether the bug affected the 4.x branch. There is no such thing. 4.0 is unreleased: if its a bug in 4.0, I generally add no CHANGES.txt at all, unless its a non-committer contributing the patch, in which case I add their name to the new-4.0-feature-affected-by-the-bug-in-question. There's no sense in CHANGES being a 'rolling list', when someone looks at 4.0 they should be able to see whats DIFFERENT aka what CHANGED from the past release. The only possible use these rolling lists could have is for people using trunk, but thats not its purpose: if you are using trunk, you need to be subscribed to the commits@ list. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
