I've been wondering the same thing myself...

Something's been nagging at me for a little while now in JIRA; when
you
select a "fix version" for a ticket, that ticket shows up as fixed
in the
release notes for that version. But in the cases where the bug was
introduced *after* the previous version (just on the trunk), it
never was a
bug in the previous version, so the release notes look like "hey, we
fixed a
bug that never existed in a previous release!"
Concrete example: PIVOT-237 (the new SplitPane bug) is listed as
"affects
1.3", "fix for 1.3". It doesn't really affect 1.3 since we'll fix
it before
1.3 exists, and we don't really want it to show up in 1.3's release
notes,
because as far as release notes are concerned, it's really just the
completion of PIVOT-75.
What's the best practices solution to this? I think that for such
tickets,
we leave the "affects version" and "fix for version" fields blank.
This
would mean that such tickets were introduced on the trunk and fixed
on the
trunk before any release ever got affected. Thoughts?
