Release notes and change logs

Notices are also used for generating different types of documents. Thus, change logs and release notes are be generated for new product releases. This, however, requires, that notes are maintained carefully. On the other hand, there is no simpler way for creating notices whenever it becomes necessary, since notices are always in reach.

In order to generate standard change logs, one may run the OShell script listed below, which calls an OSI script implemented in DSC_Theme in ode.dev. A simpler way to select a theme in the theme list and run the action immediately on the selected theme by calling the ...more/Run Action item from the context menu in the theme tree:

After entering the OSI function call in the action window and pressing OK, the change log for the selected theme is written to the file location passed as first parameter.

set DSC_Language=English

// select Sample data source

cd Sample

cc DSC_TopThemes

// select theme for wich change logs are to be generated

loc 0

osi do

  GenerateChangeLog("Changes_Sample.txt","Sample");

end
