That was suggested before, and I think we actually tried it for a few months. It didn't work. Putting an item in the release notes *properly* is a whole lot more work than putting a short bit of text in the CVS log (especially for committers whose first language isn't English). It would also create a lot more merge-collision issues for unrelated patches. It's less trouble overall to do the editing, organizing, and SGML-ifying of all the release notes at once. Also you end up with a better product, assuming that whoever is doing the notes puts in reasonable editorial effort. regards, tom lane - -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
