Yonik Seeley commented on LUCENE-1898: -------------------------------------- +1, makes sense. > 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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: java-dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: java-dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
