Hey all,
I was trying to answer the following question, what is roughly new between 5.6, 5.7 and
5.8 (minor releases)?
My first reflex was to go to
http://hibernate.org/search/downloads/
<
http://hibernate.org/search/downloads/> to read about the onliner per release.
Except it’s a onliner per micro release and “minor adjustments” for 5.6.3.Final gave me
literally no info whatsoever.
My second reflex was to go to
http://hibernate.org/search/roadmap/
<
http://hibernate.org/search/roadmap/> to find a historical entry about older
versions and the main changes in bullet points. No luck. It only talks about the future.
My third reflex was to go to
http://in.relation.to/hibernate-search/
<
http://in.relation.to/hibernate-search/> I ended up giving up midway page 2 of the
list of blog entries. It’s a mix of simultaneous parallel releases with what’s new since
the last CR or the last micro kind of reports and gave up in dismay at the energy I would
have to spend to extract what’s new for a full minor release.
I did exaggerate a bit the third point but I did give up. We need somewhere a summary page
of what’s new per minor releases. I think the roadmap page could be the host.
Likewise, we might need a oneliner entry in the download section (per release) that points
to this minor release summary.
Thoughts?
Speaking of roadmap:
- HV roadmap is massively out of date
- OGM is lying a bit on the future but at least has the past summary I was talking about
- Search has a good future roadmap but no past
