Well, maybe I'm not expressing myself very well ;-) Really, what I'm
looking for is something like a "CHANGELOG" file, e.g., a summary of the
log entries since version X. If that information (the log entry for each
version in the history) is readily available I'd love to find out how to
use it to generate such a change log between version X and Y. Basically
just a summary like this:
Croquet-Copier-ar.6 (4 April 2006, 6:58:05 pm)
- replace underscore assignment with colon-equals
Croquet-Copier-ar.5 (7 March 2006, 8:02:41 pm)
- Homebase-Hedgehog integration
Croquet-Copier-ar.4 (31 January 2006, 10:48:12 pm)
- fix endian conversions for the copier
This was created by going to the hedgehog repository and
http://hedgehog.software.umn.edu:8888/hedgehogRC.html and extracting the
information from the accessible versions. Unfortunately, if an
intermediate version (Croquet-Copier-ar.5 for example) isn't accessible
there is no way of finding out what exactly has changed in that version.
So if this information is indeed readily available please let me know
where and how (and perhaps I can convince a SqueakSource developer to
add the change log to the actions for a package version?).
Cheers,
- Andreas
