Hi devs,
I’d like to propose that we standardized on using multiple @since tags for multiple
versions in order to be more semantic and not have to invent a syntax (that then needs to
be followed and parsed)
Instead of:
@since 8.4.5, 8.3RC1
Use:
@since 8.4.5
@since 8.3RC1
This is supported by the javadoc, see
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/tools/windows/javadoc.html#a…
Also note that our Unstable annotation checker needs to be in sync (I’ve opened
http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XCOMMONS-1071 in advance).
The main rationale is that it’s more semantic to have one since per version (similar to
having one author par author).
WDYT?
Thanks
-Vincent
PS: I have already made changes for commons and waiting for agreement before committing or
discarding ;)
