[PATCH 0/4 v2] Docs: changes.rst: rework
Posted by Manuel Ebner 3 weeks, 4 days ago
There are a couple things fallacious in changes.rst. Issues are
inaccurate language (patch 1). Patch 2 adds toolsets and patch 3 updates
the list in the translations. Finally patch 4 is a preview for a way to
handle the marking of optional software.

In my usual go-through-the-ML exercise, I noticed that the subjects of
these emails look a bit strange: one is missing the version, the
version is at the end, and they seem to be out of order:

  https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260831151605.638172-2-manuelebnerli@mailbox.org/

I would suggest using `-vN` in `git-format-patch` or `b4` to handle
this instead.

In addition, if the changes on a given version are local to each
patch, you may add them per patch instead, after the `---` line, if
that makes it easier to track.

I hope that helps.

Cheers,
Miguel
