The current template of the release notes includes: http://git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=release-tools.git;a=blob;f=templates/release_notes_tmpl.tt;h=1483e521487de2b7f6027fbed0c157a180e04c62;hb=1a8328abed93df17b26a16780ae74344bae59071#l202 The last Koha release was [% lastrelease %], which was released on [% lastreleasedate %]. [% END %] This has never appeared to work correctly for me, but maybe I am not understanding how this should work. I think maybe it should show: - the last release of the branch the release notes are for - the last release of latest release (to maybe show the user that he is running an old version?) But it appears to do neither.
17.05.05 and 16.11.13 seems ok: https://koha-community.org/koha-17-05-05-release/ "The last Koha release was 17.05.04, which was released on sept. 20, 2017." https://koha-community.org/koha-16-11-13-release/ "The last Koha release was 16.11.12, which was released on September 21, 2017." But not 16.05.18 https://koha-community.org/koha-16-05-18-release/ "The last Koha release was 3.22.8, which was released on June 24, 2016." I guess you (RMaint) are updating it manually?
Ok so apparently it reads the docs/history.txt to generate it. What's the point of this info? Should we remove it or fix it?
I fixed it manually every time, it never generated right for me. I don't think it adds valuable information. The easiest fix would be to remove it.
