Every release comes with release notes that mention changes to the API. I haven't announced changes with every commit, because that would be verbose, and people who're interested can already read the git log.
Where are the release notes ? asdf-3.0.3.tar.gz(a tar bomb) contains no such thing, nor the git repository.
That's a good point. There is a pretty comprehensive changelog, but it's buried in the debian/ subdirectory.
There's always been a release announcement emailed out, but that isn't included in the tarball.
I'll try to improve our practice here. Proposal: before releasing I will put release notes into the top ASDF directory. These will be the same as what goes in the email message. I'll also make sure there's a copy of the changelog at the top level, with a cross-reference.
Subscribers to ASDF-devel will be urged to review these and suggest improvements, before the release is made official.
Does this sound like a reasonable process?
