Peter, I thought I saw a recent CVS commit from you stating that you now
can generate the HISTORY file from the SGML source. Have you tested it?
Is it being done automatically?
Also, I would like to get the release dates into the HISTORY file. Do
you know an easy way to do that?

Yes.

No.
It's basically a semi-simplified way of creating an HTML page with the
release notes and saving it with Netscape. It was more or less a
by-product of automating the INSTALL build. It's still nothing to get
excited about as you would still have to manually polish the resulting
text file in some ways.
If you want to try it out run gmake HISTORY in doc/src/sgml. I've also
tried lynx and w3m for HTML to text conversions but their results where
inferior in several ways.

I can't think of anything more particular than just writing it in there
somewhere.

OK, same old way I did it long ago.

I have it in the SGML. I just need it transfered into the HISTORY file.

You might recall Bruce that I've done this with Applixware for the last
several releases...

So you regenerate the HISTORY file using Applixware. I thought it
looked poor, and I had to re-do it, or am I remembering something else.

I just looked at the CVS logs and I think you fixed Applix to look
better. Please update HISTORY as part of your documentation changes.
Thanks. I added release dates to release.sgml, so it should have the
dates when you are done.
