| This file is also used by the maven-changes-plugin to generate the release notes. |
| Useful ways of finding items to add to this file are: |
| |
| 1. Add items when you fix a bug or add a feature (this makes the |
| release process easy :-). |
| |
| 2. Do a JIRA search for tickets closed since the previous release. |
| |
| 3. Use the report generated by the maven-changelog-plugin to see all |
| SVN commits. TBA how to use this with SVN. |
| |
| To generate the release notes from this file: |
| |
| mvn changes:announcement-generate -Prelease-notes [-Dchanges.version=nnn] |
| |
| then tweak the formatting if necessary |
| and commit |
| |
| The <action> type attribute can be add,update,fix,remove. |

| <!-- NOTE: |
| The description below is specially formatted so as to improve the layout of the generated release notes: |
| The parsing process removes all line feeds, replacing them with a single space. |
| The Velocity template in resources/templates has been enhanced to replace pairs of adjacent spaces |
| with a new-line in the release notes. (These spaces are ignored when displaying HTML). |
| If the output is not quite correct, check for invisible trailing spaces! |
| |
| N.B. The release notes template groups actions by type, and only extracts data for the current release. |
| The changes report outputs actions in the order they appear in this file. |
| |
| To regenerate the release notes: |
| mvn changes:announcement-generate -Prelease-notes [-Dchanges.version=nnn] |
| |
| Defining changes.version allows one to create the RN without first removing the SNAPSHOT suffix. |

| <release version="6.0" date="2016-06-18" description="Major release with Java 7 and 8 support |
| |
| N.B. The Clirr report shows that there are several incompatible changes which in theory can affect |
| projects that update to this version. However the changes are considered to be OK, because they |
| apply to code that is not generally directly referenced externally. |
| For example, the Visitor interfaces have some new methods. These interfaces have lots of methods, |
| so external code will use the provided abstract implementation instead. |
| |
| |
| Classes no longer implement Serializable. |
| It does not make sense to serialize BCEL, and it would be unlikely to work anyway. |
| |
| |
| The following classes no longer implement the Constants interface: |
| classfile.CodeException (final) |
| classfile.LocalVariable (final) |
| generic.InstructionFactory |
| verifier.statics.Pass2Verifier |
| verifier.structurals.UninitializedObjectType |
| |
| |
| The following classes no longer implement the InstructionConstants interface: |
| generic.PUSH |
| |
| |
| External code should not have been relying on such classes to provide definitions of the constants. |
