BTW, I think that for every public release we should also archive the ChangeLog at that time. (That doesn't preclude also archiving for any other occasion.) It doesn't matter to me that the archive files are named after years. If we release version 2.1.1 on Oct. 2, 2006, then the ChangeLog up to that release should move from "generated-land" to "archive-land" (ChangeLog.2006) at the same time. > - The "newest" ChangeLog file would be a generated file, made during > "make dist", and "make ChangeLog".

My plan is to commit something like this soon that actually generates ChangeLog.svn (not ChangeLog). Then, the next time we rotate the ChangeLog (either for a release or for New Years), I want to archive the existing log and make new entries "generated". At that time, the generated file will be called ChangeLog. -chris _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
