dai 曰く、 "Linux 2.4.19-pre5 が 3月29日にアナウンスされている。Marceloはこの中で「I've trimmed down the changelog because its just too big, and the ones who actually want to see all changelog can get it from linux.bkbits.net. This release has -aa writeout scheduling changes, which should improve IO performance (and interactivity under heavy write loads). _Please_ test that extensively looking for any kind of problems (performance, interactivity, etc).」 と言っているが、trim downしてもやっぱりこのchangelogは長い"

すでに pre6 が (スコア:1)
出ています。
で、ChangeLogが長いのはともかく、イマイチ何をやったのかよくわからないのが気になる。たとえば、ここ [ibm.com]によれば、NGPTがpre3で組み込まれたようなのだが、ChangeLogにはそれっぽいものが見当たらないので、本当に組み込まれたのか? と思ってしまう。
じゃあ、CVSのコミットログみたいなのがいいかと言えば、見慣れているせいか多少マシには思えるけど、やっぱり冗長だし。難しいところだ。
