Hello all

In an Upp meeting it was proposed to label svn releases to let to classify them.

To define it better I include you a proposal and the advantages.

I think it is important so, although almost everything could be changed in this proposal, please try to be as constructive as possible.

Proposal

- The format of svn release comments could be:

[PACKAGE], [RELEASE TYPE]: Comments

where:
- [PACKAGE] would be the package name
- [RELEASE TYPE] would be the type and importance of release. Valid values could be:
--- "major": A relevant improvement
--- "fix": A bug fix
--- No release type if it is not major change or a fix

for example:

   - Core, major: Added support to xxx
   - GridCtrl, fix: Fixed problem xxx
   - Uppweb: Fixed some spelling errors

Advantages

- Easier to filter Svn releases over RSS feeds
Svn releases not labeled would not appear in RSS
--- See dolik.rce (Honza) initiative in http://www.ultimatepp.org/forum/index.php?t=msg&th=4956& amp;start=0&
--- This could solve cbbporter comments in last Upp meeting

- Easier to do announcements as only releases labeled as major or fixes would be included in announcement text

Best regards
Iñaki
