Release notes for new releases of Askbot?

will work this out soon. Fitoria ( 2011-08-17 09:21:48 -0500 )edit

We will try to use python Sphinx documentation system. Other Python projects have change logs made in Sphinx. Evgeny ( 2011-08-17 09:29:33 -0500 )edit

could be a good idea to activate the issue tracker on Github and to link Askbot questions tagged 'feature-request' and "bugs" to Github issues. Then if you put an issue id in the comments of your commit, when you do a release, it would be easy to parse the git log to create a milestone (e.g 0.7.3) and update the corresponding issues and generate a NEWS file. The milestone management could be interesting if you want to give visibility of what's coming (e.g. "next release", "Santa letter"). Samuel ( 2011-08-19 00:32:43 -0500 )edit

We have created the changelog - will try to deploy it today. For the issue tracking we use bugs.askbot.org - please register there if you like. I think the commit messages tend to be poorly written to put them directly into the changelog, so we'll be maintaining the log of changes manually. Evgeny ( 2011-08-22 21:12:00 -0500 )edit

I think the easier and the more robust solution might be to just write better commit messages rather than doing it manually mether ( 2011-08-22 21:14:18 -0500 )edit
