286273 - Release Notes for Bugzilla 2.18.1

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Bugzilla :: Bugzilla-General, defect, P1)

Description

[Max Kanat-Alexander]

We need to modify the release notes on the 2.18.1 branch. When you do so, please
remember to carry over the changes also to the tip, although you may have to do
this cleverly.

Hopefully the relnote keyword should help us with this.

OK, here they are.

We also need to update the 2.18 Release Notes on the tip, because they
apparently aren't in sync with the branch.

Release Notes with a Link to the SecAdvs

Suggest adding hyperlink to the full change listing.  Also, per your request,
should update URL for security changes (2.16.7 currently).  Wondering out loud
- should "Detailed Version-To-Version Release Notes" be changed to "Detailed
Version-To-Version Release Notes (pre-2.18)"?

There are a number of places in the document where it still reports 2.18. 
Consider updating the vast majority to 2.18.1.

PP 5 (L15) reports the document as preliminary.  Is this still the case?

  That's only on the tip, which has the wrong release notes. Only the 2.18
branch has the right release notes. I'm going to fix that when I check in these
release notes. :-)

  All your other comments are spot-on. :-)

  The directories are named after the earliest *affected* version. That's how
they all work, for the security advisories.

Oh, actually, this is also getting checked-in on the tip, but the patch will be
slightly different.

The end result will be that the branch release notes and the tip release notes
will be identical. (There are not any release notes for 2.20 yet.)

Attachment: Tip Version of the Patch

Here's the tip version of the patch -- it makes the tip relnotes identical to
the 2.18 branch relnotes, when before the tip relnotes were actually *older*
than the 2.18 relnotes. :-)
