Steven Rowe updated LUCENE-1898:
--------------------------------
Attachment: LUCENE-1898.patch
Patch to changes2html.pl that can handle '*' as bulleted item indicator. Also
converts numbered items in contrib/CHANGES.txt for 2.9 release to '*' bullets.
This patch incorporates Mark's numbered->bulleted modifications to CHANGES.txt,
as well as correcting one numbered item that Mark missed, and converting tabs
to spaces in the first <code> section, so that the method parameters line up in
the output HTML.
> Decide if we should remove lines numbers from latest Changes

> 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.
