As a first step, I suggest we follow Lucene's lead and add html formatting to our CHANGES.txt. An example output is here: > http://hudson.zones.apache.org/hudson/view/Lucene/job/Lucene-trunk/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/trunk/build/docs/changes/Changes.html > This should then be included with our release documentation that is published on the website for each release. > After this is committed, the next step is for committers to agree on a CHANGES.txt convention that will flag major features/improvements (such as a well placed *). Then the flagged Jira's can be further highlighted when generating the html. > Thoughts? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
