Do we really need to be maintaining these release
notes files this way,
though?
Now that we have pre-commit review, we can more aggressively police commit
messages so that the first line is more consistently "release-notes-ready",
and we can generate release-notes files from commit logs instead, and avoid
the make-work of manually adding to and merging RELEASE-NOTES files on
every change.
Thoughts? Concerns? Threats? :)
+1, in general.
I was never sure what is worthy of putting in release notes. Sometimes
people suggested me to put my changes there, so i did. At some point i
started guessing myself.
It makes sense that only a small group of release management people
will make significant changes to that file and i'll gladly adopt
guidelines for commit messages that help them.
