changelogs missing in http://www.sagemath.org/changelogs/index.html

[edgardi...@gmail.com]

Hello,

The last changelog that shows up in http://www.sagemath.org/changelogs/index.html is for 7.3, from more than a year ago

Best,

Edgar

Yes it's a pity. A big project like Sage should have a changelog at each new release. My understanding is that

1/ the automated script generating the raw changelog from the git logs was lost somehow (during some migration of server?)
2/ it requires some volunteer to maintain such a file

Probably someone else can provide a better answer, especially regarding 1/.

Best wishes,

Eric.

No files were lost.  It's just that every time I make the files available to Jereon, I'm too busy and he tends to ignore me, and every time he asks for them from me, I tend to be too busy and ignore him...

Thanks for this clarification.

Could the script file(s) be added to sage git repository?

Best wishes,

Eric.

I'll try to have a look today.

I'll try to have a look today.

That would be fantastic if this could be back up, granted the definitely nontrivial work involved getting it going again.

This would indeed be fantastic as I am writing an application for funding for a future SageDays 

and it would be great to have an order of magnitude of how many active contributors there are 

to the latest Sage releases!
