DO NOT REPLY [Bug 47777] New: Release Notes and Change Log should

https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=47777
Summary: Release Notes and Change Log should have verison
release date
Product: Tomcat 6
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal

Component: Documentation
AssignedTo: dev@tomcat.apache.org

There should be something like "Version Released DD MMM YYYY" in the Change
Log and Release Notes pages on tomcat.apache.org as well as the "RELEASE-NOTES"
file in the official distro bundles.
Also the Apache Tomcat Versions table on http://tomcat.apache.org/ should have
a third column "Released" with the appropriate dates.
It is useful because when my company is using version 6.0.3, and I want to tell
them to upgrade to the latest version I can easily tell them how old that
version is. That encourages them to do the upgrade sooner instead of putting
it off.

It cannot be done, because Change Log and RELEASE NOTES are part of the release
bundle, and when the bundle is created (and signed) nobody knows what the
release date will be, and whether the bundle will be released or rejected, and
once the bundle is created, it cannot be changed.
There is usually at least a week for voting between creating the bundle and
releasing it. If you need to say "n years ago", such precision is sufficient.
You can: a) look at the time when the release bundle was created (e.g. at
archive.apache.org),
b) look at the time when the relevant tag in subversion was created (and commit
e-mails can be found in dev@ archives).
c) subscribe/search archives of announce@ / users@ / dev@ [1], where release
announcements are published.

Also, if you want to encourage them to upgrade, it is good to point at
http://tomcat.apache.org/security.html

I added official release dates for previous releases to the change log files of
TC 5.5 and 6.0. (r821209, r821218). Unless there are objections, it will be in
5.5.29, 6.0.21 onwards.
I think that we can add the new date to the changelog file once the release
vote is done and release is announced. Even if the date of the current release
is not present in the online copy of the Change Log, it should be fine for ones
that want to review our history.
Also, I should note that if one needs the build date of release binaries, it
can be found in the following file in catalina.jar:
org\apache\catalina\util\ServerInfo.properties
