I wondered about this, particularly for the NEWS entries. What I have been
doing is bumping the version number for each commit - to make sure that the
checks on the server get run - but collapsing multiple version bullets into a
single NEWS item. i.e., my NEWS looks like:
++++
Changes in version 1.5.6 (2018-03-08)
-------------------------------------
User Visible Changes:
* BUG FIX: the G2 peak of the B sample was not getting incorporated
into model construction, which caused model fitting to fail on
samples with histograms skewed towards the left.
* Updated DebrisModel documentation.
Internal Changes:
* Fixed broken test.
Changes in version 1.5.3 (2018-01-17)
-------------------------------------
++++
I think that will be more convenient for users, who won't care that the bug
fix, updated documentation, and fixed test were actually three different
commits. If they do want that level of detail, that information is available
directly from the repository. And from my perspective, I definitely wanted to
bump the version for at least the test fix and the bug fix, to make sure that
the server-side tests were run.
Best,
Tyler
