Changelog / changed file list
Page: 1
Recent posts in this topic
Are customers provided with a changelog listing the files that have been changed/added/deleted in new versions?
For example, the output of the "svn status" command would be adequate. (Outputs listing of new files, files that have been changed, and files that have been deleted)
If this isn't usual practice at the moment, I assume it could be introduced?
Many thanks!

There are couple of problems:
1. List of files is usually pretty long. Sometimes there is more files that are updated than the ones that remained the same, especially with bigger updates.
2. Final installation package is different than what we have in repositories. It is result of build script that merges 7 different subprojects (application, framework, update utility, installer, docs etc).
3. It would add additional step in our release process which is a bit complex already.
Instead of providing diff between releases we provide a simple list of files and folders (not more than 10 items in the list) that you just upload over existing files plus a list of enhancements and bug fixes in release notes.
