Summary of new features

[swdev]

Where can one find a summary of new features in each release, as opposed to the minutiae of the changelog?

Thanks.

In the NEWS file that is included in the distribution. Or in the announcement at the top of the forum:

http://www.jfree.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=27784

Or on the SourceForge downloads page, you can click on the "Notes" icon for the release and get the release notes:

http://sourceforge.net/project/shownote ... _id=677082

Having to download each release to find out the history of new functionality (I haven't
looked at JFreeChart since 1.0.2) is just what I want to avoid.

Or in the announcement at the top of the forum [...] Or on the SourceForge
downloads page, you can click on the "Notes" icon for the release

OK, that works but that's just for the current release.

Thanks again,

This page at SourceForge lists all the releases. You can click on the clipboard icon beside any particular release and get the notes if there are any:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile ... e_id=12428

Thanks. How does one get there, though (assuming one was provided a direct link)?
In the Download pull-down menu, neither "Default" nor "Browse all packages" gives
the whole list.

[david.gilbert]

Choose "Browse All Packages" then click on the "1. JFreeChart" hyperlink and it will list all the releases for that package.

Now that's clear. Thanks a lot.

Any chance you might at some point start producing HTML release notes,
with pictures of new features (when it makes sense), rather than plain
text ones?
