Org-mode release 7.8.11

Org-mode release 7.8.11

[Bastien]

Hi all,

I've released Org 7.8.11.  

This is a minor release which mainly fixes an important bug 
about matching TODO when building the agenda.

  http://orgmode.org/org-7.8.11.zip
  http://orgmode.org/org-7.8.11.tar.gz
  http://orgmode.org/org-mode-download.html

Enjoy,

The tag was pushed on maint and since you are using the master
version and org-version is inferred from the tag, you had this
wrong org-version.

Fixed, thanks.

How do we view changelogs for minor versions?

http://orgmode.org/Changes.html only appears to show changes for 7.8 (and, in the top section, changes in 'HEAD').

I would like to know the differences between (for example) 7.8.03 and 7.8.11.

Thanks,

Jules

http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/lh/emacs/emacs-24/annotate/head:/lisp/org/ChangeLog

Discontinuities in the Changelog 'typically' indicate a bump in the
release.  Figure out when 7.8.03 was released and use that baseline date
to form an opinion.

Also look at OrgVersion in 
http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/lh/emacs/emacs-24/annotate/head:/etc/ORG-NEWS

~$ git log release_7.8.03..release_7.8.11

will display the git logs between those two releases.

The purpose of http://orgmode.org/Change.html is to contain a
human-readable log for major releases -- the logs for the development
version are not completely written (they are in development too).

If you want logs from the Emacs-24 branch, follow Jambunathan's
instructions.

HTH,

Thanks. I will find myself a git checkout and take a look.

This is reasonable.

Do I take it then that releases like 7.8.x are development releases?

As a counter-argument, I remark that if 7.8 contains bugs (I believe it does?) and you have release bug fix releases in the 7.8.x series then "normal users" might reasonably want to install them, and might reasonably want to understand what bugs are fixed. ("normal users" I guess would not necessarily have a git checkout handy to run diffs on)

Of course I recognise that organising changelogs is time consuming task and the org development team are busy people.
