The nightly builds seem to have lost their change notes? Could someone have a look and see why the change notes are not getting posted to the nightly site?

Hi,

When I submitted the scripts used to prepare the nightly builds to be included in the Subversion repository, I rewrote them from Python to Perl. As part of this process I removed a few pieces of functionality that weren't, in my opinion, providing useful functionality. The per-build change notes were one thing to go. My rationale for this was that the information is available elsewhere in a more useful form. Change logs on a per-revision basis are available at <http://cia.webkit.org/>, while more detailed information on changes can be found at <http://trac.webkit.org/dev/ timeline>. I intend to add links to these sites from the nightly build page so that this information on changes is more readily available.

If there is a general opinion that the per-build change notes are more useful in some way than the per-revision logs accessible via CIA or Trac, I will look into reinstating the per-build notes. I look forward to feedback on this.

Regards,

Mark Rowe
