- No code changes since 5.22.1
Isn't that pointless and superfluous?
There's a misunderstanding about what "No code changes" really means. To make it short: 1 - We release what upstream provides. The plasma and framework releases contain ~80 tarballs each and the KDE Gear ones are closer to 200. 2 - We're using the git logs to create the changelogs 3 - The scripts we use omit changes voluntarily: * Commits that are pushed and reverted * upstream changes marked as 'SILENT'. This could be translation updates or dependency bumps. So "No code change since ..." never really meant absolutely nothing changed in the tarball. HTH, Christophe
