Ned Deily added the comment: Sorry, I disagree. I think the point of adding these directives is that shows for what release of 3.6.x they apply. It is expected that the What's New documents may be updated during the lifecycle of a major release and having the release and date there lets the reader know that they are update. For example, at the moment https://docs.python.org/3.6/whatsnew/3.6.html shows:
What’s New In Python 3.6 Release: 3.6.1rc1 Date: March 05, 2017 which is correct. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29719> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
