[jira] [Commented] (DAFFODIL-2366) Release process check improvements

["John Interrante (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAFFODIL-2366?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17304926#comment-17304926 ] 

John Interrante commented on DAFFODIL-2366:
-------------------------------------------

Renaming ".bin" files to ".testData.bin", or just ".testData", seems like overkill.  How about renaming ".bin" files to ".dat" instead?

> This check, done during incubator review of 2.7.0, suggests additional checking to be done as part of our Release process, and also calls for creation of an actual Release notes file. Our release notes are on our web site, but wouldn't hurt to put a file in the release with the URL to that in it.
