Hi. Currently, changelog of Python 3.7a1 [1] contains changes between 3.6b1 and 3.7a1. So lot's of bugfixes are listed twice or more in changelog. For example, "bpo-28258: Fixed build with Estonian locale..." are listed under 3.5.3rc1, 3.6.0b2 and 3.7.0a1.
[1] https://docs.python.org/3.7/whatsnew/changelog.html#changelog This has two problems: * The changelog is longer than necessary. * If bpo-xxxx is fixed in 3.7a1, people may think the bug exists in 3.6.0, even if the bug is fixed in 3.6b2 too. Since we stopped merging 3.6 -> master, I suggest to remove such duplicates. There are two ways: # A: 3.7a1 -> 3.6.0 -> 3.6.0rc2 ... -> 3.6a1 -> 3.5.0 ... This may be what people expect. In this case, we will remove: * 3.6.1(rc*) from changelog * duplicated entries in 3.7.0 (which fixed before 3.6.0) # B: 3.7a1 -> 3.6b1 -> ... 3.6a1 -> 3.5b1 ... This reflects our branch model. In this case, we will remove: * All 3.6 versions after 3.6b1 How do you think?
