That's an awful lot of bug fixes for a few revisions on a stable branch.
That represents bugfixes over the last 3 releases for this package. The
most important bugfixes that we are especially keen for users to get
relate to High Availability (HA) mode of operation.
It's also not particularly reviewable.
The changes can be reviewed by checking out with mercurial:
$ hg clone http://hg.rabbitmq.com/rabbitmq-public-umbrella
$ make -C rabbitmq-public-umbrella checkout
And then performing a comparison for each repository, e.g.
$ cd rabbitmq-public-umbrella/rabbitmq-server
$ hg diff -r rabbitmq_v2_8_4 -r rabbitmq_v2_8_7
Why was the changelog entry for 2.8.4-1 removed?
That was a mistake. It should say "* New upstream release".
"Halfway down a stable branch of development" sounds a little odd. Isn't
the point of a stable branch that it only receives bug fixes, rather
than new development?
The rabbitmq_v2_8_x branch only received backported bugfixes over the
last 7 releases.
Please let me know if there is any more information I can provide to
help your review.
