Once upon a time, CLISP had 3(!) historical files: ChangeLog (detailed), CHANGES.LOG (summary for developers), and NEWS (summary for users). I got rid of CHANGES.LOG in 2002. Now we have 4(!!!) histories: ChangeLog, NEWS, history.xml, `hg log`. The twist is that history.xml is merely the compressed docbook version of NEWS, updated at release time (IOW, the main difference between https://sourceforge.net/p/clisp/clisp/ci/tip/tree/src/NEWS and http://clisp.org/impnotes/clisp-history.html is the order). ChangeLog is a hold-over from the pre-VC times. Bruno finds it useful so we will keep it until he grows out of it :-) -- Sam Steingold (http://sds.podval.org/) on darwin Ns 10.3.1504 http://steingoldpsychology.com http://www.childpsy.net http://no2bds.org http://thereligionofpeace.com http://mideasttruth.com Conscience is like a hamster: it is either asleep or gnawing. |
