patch
This report is useless as the same information is in the 'API Tools Version Verification Report'. Please remove it. However, as Olivier already pointed out, we must use 3.6.0 as the baseline for the 'API Tools Version Verification Report'. Verified in test build and released for M20100714-0800. Didn't see second comment, reopening to fix. Created attachment 174287 [details]

patch to compare against 3.6
I discussed with Dani/Olivier. The "freeze" report should be performed in the build as the "verification" report will not detect API changes that are compatible and where are bundle version is incremented appropriately. The IDE tooling provides developers with quick fixes to update bundle versions as API is added in compatible ways. Thus, it would be possible for a developer to make a mistake, and add API in a way that the "verification" report would not detect. In general, developers should not do this (and know better). However, to be safe, we might as well use the report to verify no unintended API changes slip through. I agree. The report will be useful to blame evil committers ;-) released for M20100721-0800 |
