Hi!

I don't know, but I see two things here, Kelly, or Xiomara (I guess),
add a new tag to the hg repository, and this means a new build is out.
We can easily shortlog all the changes from one tag to the other
(commands were also posted on this list) and put them into a webpage. A
small script will link these changes to the internal Sun bug tracking
system (where we have no control, so is up to you at Sun to write hooks).
Someone at this point can write a simple comment telling us all the
extra information that are nice to know.

This way the information is more complete.

I have to admit that I rarely read long changelogs, instead, if a
mapping with the bug database is available, I usually tend to see that.

I guess that both worlds would be nice to have.

The very cool thing to have is what Kelly suggested a couple of mails
ago though (generate all this stuff on demand on the website for any
given build).

Cheers,
Mario
