All,

The current release process as written ends up with the release-date of the latest release not appearing in the changelog until the *following* release is done.

I think we should change this. I have tried to remember to do it myself with 8.5.x when I do releases.

When we have monthly releases, it's not really a huge deal. But when the releases become less and less frequent (e.g. maintenance mode), then we have problems like this:

https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/changelog.html
https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/changelog.html
https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/changelog.html

According to those changelogs, the latest releases do not have a release-date. But they were in fact released.

Are there any objections to making it a policy to update those changelogs with each actual release and not just the following release?
