I do "svn update" every few weeks.

I enjoy reading the === Configuration changes in 1.xx === === New features in 1.xx === === Bug fixes in 1.xx === == API changes in 1.xx == contained in RELEASE-NOTES, and have even devised a way, $ cp RELEASE-NOTES /tmp/r $ svn update $ diff /tmp/r RELEASE-NOTES to get a very rough idea of what changed between rOLDER and rNEWER.

Alas, when we cross a 1.15/1.16, 1.16/1.17 boundary one is forced to try something like $ perl -nwle 'print if /=== Configuration changes in 1.16 ===/../== Compatibility ==/' /tmp/r > /tmp/r2 $ sed '/== MediaWiki 1.15 ==/q' mediawiki/HISTORY|diff -U0 - /tmp/r2 All this diff stuff is getting quite insane. Isn't there something more precise, like Debian's apt-listchanges...

Isn't there a SVN command that can print exactly those === Configuration changes in 1.xx === === New features in 1.xx === === Bug fixes in 1.xx === == API changes in 1.xx == for my given rOLDER to rNEWER space in time? (and nothing more verbose please.) How is RELEASE-NOTES generated? I can't find how in my SVN tree.

P.S., shouldn't all lines be === above? One is ==.
