Use the -release trees... "For 2005.0, we've decided to switch to an |
| 10 |
XML-based ChangeLog system. The -current tree will continue to have |
| 11 |
both styles of ChangeLogs, with the plain-text ChangeLog being |
| 12 |
depracated, until 2005.1 is released, at which time the plain-text |
| 13 |
ChangeLog will be dropped from the -current tree in favor of the new |
| 14 |
XML-based format." |
