Decide if we should remove lines numbers from latest Changes
------------------------------------------------------------
Key: LUCENE-1898
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1898
Project: Lucene - Java
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Other
Reporter: Mark Miller
Fix For: 2.9
As Lucene dev has grown, a new issue has arisen - many times, new changes
invalidate old changes. A proper changes file should just list the changes from
the last version, not document the dev life of the issues. Keeping changes in
proper order now requires a lot of renumbering sometimes. The numbers have no
real meaning and could be added to more rich versions (such as the html
version) automatically if desired.
I think an * makes a good replacement myself. The issues already have ids that
are stable, rather than the current, decorational numbers which are subject to
change over a dev cycle.
I think we should replace the numbers with an asterix for the 2.9 section and
going forward (ie 4. becomes *).
If we don't get consensus very quickly, this issue won't block.
