Convention-wise, may I suggest a NEWS file ? http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/NEWS-File.html Unfortunately the GNU Standards document doesn't contain formatting specifications for that file as it would be more for human consumption. On the contrary the ChangeLog [1] file is more strictly defined and is the target of known tools (git2cl, cvs2cl, svn2cl) but isn't expected to contain informations about releases (only single changes). [1] http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Change-Logs.html What's the use pattern for current plugins ? Does the plugin builder provide a template ? --strk; () Free GIS & Flash consultant/developer /\ http://strk.keybit.net/services.html _______________________________________________ Qgis-developer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
