Fill out NEWS for BETA releases.

[anjackson]

We really should have been updating a CHANGES file to include the issues we covered up to the BETA.1 and BETA.2 releases. We should go back and fill that out before a 2.0.0 release.

UPDATE: Actually this should be in the form of the Maven site 'news', c.f. http://iipc.github.io/openwayback/2.0.0.BETA.2/

[anjackson]

So, the idea is to update these files:

• https://github.com/iipc/openwayback/blob/master/src/site/xdoc/index.xml
• https://github.com/iipc/openwayback/blob/master/src/site/xdoc/release_notes.xml

The former should contain a brief summary of each release, with the details in the latter. My idea was to look at the issues and pull requests leading up to each release and to add them to the release_notes file, with links back to the issues here on GitHub, and including the handles of the contributing users.

The summary in index.xml could then thank those how contributed to each release.

Release dates were:

• BETA 1 - 10th January 2014 - https://github.com/iipc/openwayback/tree/openwayback-2.0.0.BETA.1
• BETA 2 - 14th May 2014 https://github.com/iipc/openwayback/tree/openwayback-2.0.0.BETA.2

Both documents are now updated and drafts are being reviewed.

@anjackson Should we, in any way, try to account for the 1.8.0 release?

[anjackson]

I'm not sure we have enough information. Would we need IA help to do it. Looking at http://builds.archive.org/maven2/org/archive/wayback/wayback/ it seems there was a 1.7.0 and a 1.8.0 release, neither of which are covered by the docs AFAICT.

[kris-sigur]

I'm just thinking if we should acknowledge the gap. Something like:

"Release 1.8.0 was made in MONTH of YEAR by the IA but no formal release notice exists"

[hhockx]

I will add those.

Think before you print

[hhockx]

I actually could not even find the release date of wayback 1.8.0. Does anyone know?

[kris-sigur]

@hhockx According to IA's maven repo it was 18-Dec-2013 22:26

That doesn't really track, does it?

Actually, yes it does. IA seems to have pushed out a 1.8.0 release AFTER we started the IIPC branch. I found this commit by Ilya from Dec. 18: internetarchive@f11c70f that confirms it.

[hhockx]

Yes just found it here http://builds.archive.org/maven2/org/archive/wayback/wayback/ and also took information on release 1.7.0.

Changes made by IA in 1.8.0 shold have been merged into OpenWayback by Andy?

[hhockx]

Both https://github.com/iipc/openwayback/blob/master/src/site/xdoc/index.xml
and https://github.com/iipc/openwayback/blob/master/src/site/xdoc/release_notes.xml are updated. Also added the doucments to the wiki.

Can this ticket be closed now?

[kris-sigur]

I spotted an XML error in the release notes. Now fixed. So, yes, lets close this issue.

[hhockx]

Thanks Kris for checking and fixing the error. Glad this is done now.

[ikreymer]

Just a suggestion, but if mentioning "Added PrefixFieldCollapser and RegexFieldMatcher to CDX server", a minor fix to the CDX server, it might make sense mention the existence of the CDX server, as part of the release.. that was a major component that did not exist in 1.6. See: https://github.com/iipc/openwayback/tree/master/wayback-cdx-server for some reference.

Also, the Memento support has been overhauled and better integrated with AccessPoint and compliant with the Memento RFC spec http://www.mementoweb.org/guide/rfc/

[hhockx]

Thanks for these Ilya.

When was CDX server introduced? For each of the above, which release should I attach them to respectively?
