Hi everyone,
I'm wondering whether our [PREFIXES] in commit messages are still useful as of today? If I recall correctly, they were once added to autogenerate a changelog. I also remember that this dramatically failed when Ziliang created the 0.3.12 changelog and the full changelog needed to be redone from scratch, manually of course.
Furthermore, I doubt that prefixes like "[SPRINTF]" (r49512) or faulty ones like "{ASM]" (r49413) can still be reasonably associated to a changelog category. After all, we don't even have a list of valid prefixes, so one has to first look at all used ones anyway.
Of course, I don't want them to be dropped instantly tomorrow, but I'm interested in your opinions. I also don't yet know about the planned method for creating the 0.3.13 changelog, so I might be wrong on this.
Cheers,
Colin
