[jira] [Resolved] (HADOOP-1684) Release notes point to browsable
JIRA
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1684?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Harsh J resolved HADOOP-1684.
-----------------------------
Resolution: Not A Problem
Release notes are now being compiled and an editorial pass is made over them for every release as well. I believe these are at least 70% user friendly, having once been a beginner and read the release notes from 0.19 -> 0.20. The process is still done in the same way since, I believe.
I do not think this JIRA is valid anymore (may be cause of time, it was opened in '07 when nutch hosted hadoop's links).
Thus, Not-a-problem (anymore).

> Key: HADOOP-1684
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1684
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: documentation
> Reporter: Marco Nicosia

> Currently, the web pages on lucene.apache.org/hadoop link "release notes" as a pointer to JIRA. http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP?report=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.project:changelog-panel
> The problem with this is that JIRA's really not very user-friendly. Most of the Hadoop JIRA tickets describe the underlying cause, not the user exposed symptoms, so users who are nsidering a new release (say, looking for API changes) can't make head or tails of half of the tickets without being familiar with Hadoop internals.
