1. I see no real point. a. For historic releases, those 3 files and also 4th https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/changelog.html can be hand-edited to add a release date. E.g. I can do this work. The hard part is finding the actual dates. b. For current releases, the date can be seen easily from an announcement at the front page of https://tomcat.apache.org/ Attracting more visitors to that page is a positive thing, I think. > Are there any objections to making it a policy to update those > changelogs with each actual release and not just the following release? Let's keep it simple. btw, I wonder whether release managers actually read the wiki each time https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/TOMCAT/ReleaseProcess also replying to a later mail: пн, 14 мар. 2022 г. в 23:07, Christopher Schultz <ch...@christopherschultz.net>: > [...] > The actual release contains a changelog which says "Release in > progress." So if you look at the docs/ webapp, you'llsee that your I see that in your 8.5.x, but in 9.0,x and others it is done in a different way: - On the tag the changelog file has rtext="" (an empty string). https://github.com/apache/tomcat/commit/235730aed454e8d3619109f2c563587ff722e69d - On the source tree (on the active branch in git) it has rtext="in progress" or "release in progress" https://github.com/apache/tomcat/commit/b925f769668fee1b6febf12153205ff6bdfd1258 I think it makes more sense to do it this way (with rtext="" on the tag).
