#287 Split detailed revision histories from the main Releases page

[Vidar Hasfjord]

Our Releases page currently serves both as a historical overview of release series and as a detailed revision log. As the number of releases has accumulated, the page is becoming increasingly large and somewhat cumbersome to load, edit, and navigate.

A possible solution is to retain on the Releases page:

• Versioning and release policy information.
• Release series overviews.
• Major features tables.
• Links to detailed revision histories.

Then move the detailed revision entries for each series to dedicated pages, following the existing precedent of "OWLNext Pre-6.20 Revision History".

This would improve readability, reduce scrolling, improve editability, and better accommodate future growth coming with the 8 series.

@jogybl,

I cannot add wiki pages, presumably because I'm no longer an administrator.

If you create the following pages, I'll take ownership of this ticket and split the existing material.

• [OWLNext_8_Series_Revision_History]
• [OWLNext_7_Series_Revision_History]
• [OWLNext_6.40_Series_Revision_History]
• [OWLNext_6.30_Series_Revision_History]
• [OWLNext_6.20_Series_Revision_History]
  
  

If you prefer to keep the Releases page as-is, feel free to ignore this ticket (or close it as "won't fix").

Edit: This feature requests has now been implemented. Our Releases page now links to the pages above with all the revision details. Our Roadmap links to the 8 series revision history page. On release, the 8 series description and revisions link should be moved to the Releases page.

I have had the same idea many times, the page has grown quite large :-)
