From now on all per-version notes link to the global list
of Known Issues. If there is a new note it should be listed twice:
In the per-version list, and in the global list.
(cherry picked from commit c58dd2790a)
We started with compilation of _all_ 9.17.z notes into one file:
$ ls *.17*.rst | sort -V | xargs cat > notes-9.18.0.rst
Then removed removed duplicate extra copyright headers:
$ grep -v '^\.\. [^_]' notes-9.18.0.rst > notes-9.18.0.rst.copy
$ grep -v '^\.\.$' notes-9.18.0.rst.copy > notes-9.18.0.rst
$ vim notes-9.17.0.rst notes-9.18.0.rst
Next step was to find notes referencing the changes which were
backported to 9.16.25 and remove these. Duplicites were checked
by diffing corresponding texts in 9.16 and 9.17, and it revealed that
some backports were either partial, or code was backported but the
release note was lost in 9.16 branch. In that case we did not
re-introduce the relnote and considered it also duplicate.
Most notable cases of "missing in 9.16 relnote but in fact fixed"
were notes for CVE-2020-8616 and CVE-2020-8617.
These were accidentally omitted from 9.16 release docs, and we are going
to fix it in separate MR !5722.
Further removals include:
- Security issue #2787: The bug was introduced & fixed in 9.17.z,
so there is no need to tell about it to people upgrading to 9.18.0.
- Bugfix !3135: Backported but with unclear reference in relnotes.
- Bugfix !3137: Backported but with unclear reference in relnotes.
- Bugfix #2460: Introduced & fixed in 9.17.z.
- Bugfix #2504: The bug was introduced & fixed in 9.17.z.
- Bugfix #2562: Introduced & fixed in 9.17.z.
- Bugfix #2917: Introduced & fixed in 9.17.z
- Bugfix #3040: Introduced & fixed in 9.17.z.
- Bugfix #3062: Introduced & fixed in 9.17.z.
- Change #4: Introduced & "finished" in 9.17.z.
- Change #1610: Introduced & reverted in 9.17.z.
- Change #1958: No user visible impact.
- Change #2016: No user visible impact.
- Change #2022: No user visible impact.
- Change #2264: Affects a feature introduced only to 9.17 branch.
- Change #2401: No user visible impact.
- Known issue about libuv: Got fixed later in the cycle.
- Known issue about port clash: It is now config error.
Then tweaking started to clarify meaning of various notes to people
upgrading from 9.16.
While doing so, bugfix #2927 was omited because the change just makes
9.18 SERVFAIL faster than 9.16, so even though it is technically bugfix
it is so minor that it is not worth bragging about in release notes.
TLS/DoT/DoH features were summarized from many independent
notes into one giant note per feature.
All notes were rearranged according to their "perceived priority".
