I've begun the prep work for the MariaDB 5.5.32 release. The packages are uploaded and the mirrors should start picking them up soon.
The draft changelog and release notes are here:
This looks wrong. Surely, there are many more changesets under the "mysql-5.5.32 merge" than just "BLACKHOLE BINARY LOG WITH ROW".
There are. The modified version of the --kb-short command I use to generate the changelogs automatically strips out the upstream revisions from Oracle.
Including them can really balloon the size of the changelogs. So instead of including them I just link to the MySQL changelogs in the release notes.
In this instance the script left the blackhole commit in there and stripped all the others that were part of that merge.
I can either remove the blackhole merge from the changelog or add in the rest of the Oracle merges. Which would you prefer?
I'd prefer to keep them all. Almost nobody reads the changelog anyway. But who does, I believe, expects to see all the changes on one page. MySQL changelog link is good - but it's more like our relnotes page, a simplified user-level description of whatever was done in the release. While our changelog is really technical, everything that was committed, log. It's not a replacement of a relnotes, it has value on itself. But then, it should not be filtered, it should indeed include everything that was committed. Regards, Sergei
