[IMPORTANT] - Changing API - Must document changes in release notes

2011-08-31 Thread Claus Ibsen
Hi

The API in camel-core have changed on trunk recently by the works of
Christian S.

I just to remind that its important to notice all the API breaking
changes in the API section in the release notes.
I have noticed that the release notes hasn't been updated accordingly
to changes.

I suggest to update the release notes at the time when you commit
changes, as then you wont forget.

What we need to put in there, is for example when a class has been
*moved* to a new package, which mean
there is not even an old @deprecated class. We ought also to mention
important classe which may have
been @deprecated in favor of some other class etc.

Our user base should have this information up-front so they can take
that into account, in their migration plans.

 Hi Claus,

thanks for reminding. Documenting the changes make a lot of sense of course.
