I'm hoping to grab KK today to find out what happened.

It means there are no major user-visible changes. (See below.) > If there are no changes, why was it released? Jenkins is released weekly. I'd hope that KK finds the time to check whether there are actually changes scheduled before doing a release, but at least for 1.623 this obviously didn't happen. Notably, it hasn't been necessary to do so in years AFAICT, as there was always something that could be mentioned. > The changelog is supposed to be there to show why the users should upgrade to > it or skip it, and these notes obviously fail that test.

Let's roleplay: You're in charge of the changelog. 1.623 has been released (you're not in charge of that), and you're looking for what needs to be mentioned in the changelog. This is the diff to the previous release: https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins/compare/jenkins-1.622...jenkins-1.623 So, what do you post? That @Nonnull annotations were added to the hudson.model.Result class? That a logging level was changed from FINE to FINER? That a class that was never used and never part of the public API has been removed? I decided to just write that there are no notable user-visible changes. It wouldn't take long for the complaints to come in if we actually mentioned *everything* that gets changed in the changelog. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Users" group.
