Steven Rowe commented on LUCENE-1898:
-------------------------------------
{{changes-to-html.pl}} doesn't fully grok the new format - items are numbered,
but the asterisks are left in in some cases. I'll work up a patch.
> 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

> Attachments: LUCENE-1898.patch

>
> 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.
