I find it unfortunate that these release announcements don't include people who did very significant design/etc work but not commits, such as Curtis Poe, who was instrumental in the "class" headlining feature. I recognize that would be difficult to automate. But at least Curtis and presumably others with non-commit contributions are listed in the AUTHORS file, which is longer lasting and somewhat more prominent. -- Darren DuncanThread Previous | Thread Next
