Hi Roundcube Developers,
I'm really impressed by quality and speed of development of roundcube. Thank you for the great software!
I've a minor suggestion: would you mind adding the release/version number of current releases to the CHANGELOG file of release tarballs?
Current practice is that sections with changes from former releases are introduced with 'RELEASE <NUMBER>', but changes from current release aren't introduced at all. It would be great if you could add an introduction line for current releases as well.
Background is that we try to track new releases of manually installed software on our servers using a nagios check script. This script parses the changelog files with a regular expression and searches the projects download pages for new releases.
Kind regards, jonas

You've got version number also in index.php and iniset.php files.

I know :)
But from my experiences changelog usually is the best place to track current version number. Developers (not you) often forget to update version numbers in code files. Do you have a reason for not adding the current version number to the changelog? IMHO least it's a rather exceptional practice in open source projects, isn't it?
Kind regards, jonas

I've wondered about that for some time too.
Normally, i would expect that Changelog entries without any release header are under development.
I'd second to add a RELEASE line to the changelog upon release.

Hello,
This is exactly what I have always seen on everywhere, that the headless/tagless entries are for trunk/dev. Yesterday I was just looking for the 0.8.6 CHANGELOG entries and unable to find it I went to IRC to ask. After a short discussion I also remembered that RC uses this not really common behavior.
