Hi All,
So I am not sure this is going to capture everyone's interest but on the
other hand it is a "first attempt" and I don't really expect it to :-).
I have uploaded an example of the changelog here:
http://nant.sourceforge.net/tmp/changelog_2003-12-26_to_2004-9-14.html
Instead of using the local property file I went with the last release
date of NAnt, in this case 2003/12/26. I would like to hear what
everyone else thinks but this seemed to make sense that we would want to
capture all changes from the last release date.
Just a couple of more notes: I have also slightly modified the
changelog.xls that comes with ant to make it more NAnt-ish :-), this
will have to be checked in but probably not distributed? The output is
just going to the ${build.dir}/doc folder, does that seem reasonable or
is there a more appropriate location?
I will hold off on committing until I have some feedback.
Cheers,
Clayton
