To Marius: I presume you're referring to a mandatory line in commit messages. The problem is that there's lots of commits that don't really result in release note entries (i.e. fixing a typo in an error message, or eliminating a compiler warning). > If that would work, then committers would be adding lines to RELNOTES.TXT > directly on their own. To John: I agree, but I would love to be proven wrong. (Thanks, by the way, to anyone who's committed to the release notes files, especially gshapiro and sanpei, who have been especially consciencious about this.)
