Thread:Manual talk:Coding conventions/Release notes and bug fixes

The guideline says you must add to release notes when you fix a bug, but in practice this is almost never respected, especially because with git it makes merge conflicts almost certain. Automatic updates of release notes or other variants (like herds of slaves doing it in the devs' stead) are currently just dreams.

To the few who care and watch this page: remember that release notes become even more important if you remove the bug numbers from the first line of commit messages.
