I've noticed that some of us have interpreted the purpose of the cvs
news tag differently. I was under the impression that its purpose was
to highlight new features only, not bug fixes (I realize that in some
cases, a bug fix could be considered a feature), and have therefore not
applied it to my bux fixes.
On the other hand, Kohsuke has also marked bug fixes with this tag, but
in some cases, the message is just "Fixed issue <id>", which is not very
helpful IMO.
Can we agree on the types of commits that should be marked with this tag?
Can we maybe introduce a second tag ("fixed") that should be used for
bug fixes, and restrict "news" to new features that are not bug fixes?
This way, when the "What's new" page for a promoted build gets compiled,
all commits marked with "news" end up in the "New features" section,
whereas all commits marked with "fixed" end up in the "Bug fixes"
section. Kohsuke, would this be doable?
Also, we should agree on a format for commit messages related to bug fixes.
I suggest:
Fixed GlassFish Issue <id>
