Thread:Manual talk:Coding conventions/Release notes and bug fixes/reply (2)

I agree that release notes are important, but your "small number of changes" is just wishful thinking.

As of now there are over 350 bugs marked fixed since 1.20 was branched, and only 80 mentioned in RELEASE-NOTES-1.21 (which seems to have about 150 bullets in total)... of course it's just approximations but it seems clear that only a minority of bug fixes follow the convention.
