Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to This documentation-only change expands the release history, but the rc2 changelog currently presents test coverage as a fix even though it says the behavior was corrected in rc1. Correcting the section prevents misleading release information. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

Summary

CHANGELOG.mdon8.x-1.xso it covers the 31 releases of the module, from the first commit on 2008-07-24 through 8.x-1.0-rc2: 8.x-1.x (10 releases), 7.x-1.x (11), 6.x-1.x (6) and 5.x-1.x (4). Until now the file held only the rc2 block and an "Earlier releases" note that pointed at the wrong dates. The intent is for this to ship in the 8.x-1.0 stable release.Changes
CHANGELOG.mdand two words in.cspell.json. Shape of the file:CHANGELOG.txton the old branches used the local date, so 7.x-1.0-beta1 (node 2011-11-07 21:33 UTC, txt 2011-11-08) and 7.x-1.0-beta3 (node 2012-02-07 22:48 UTC, txt 2012-02-08) each differ by a day from the old file.[#nid](https://www.drupal.org/i/nid)links. Contributor credits stay on the release nodes and ingit log.6.x-2.xrewrite has no release. Its commits are ancestors of 7.x-1.0-alpha1, so the alpha1 line says the release was built on it.How it was built: The 8.x sections were written from the commits between the release tags (
git log <prev>..<tag>) and checked against the Drupal.org release node for the same tag. The 7.x, 6.x and 5.x sections started from theCHANGELOG.txton each old branch, then each line was checked against the commits in the tag range and the Drupal.org issue it cites (all 160 legacy nids fetched through the api-d7 endpoint). Where the sources disagreed, the commits won for content and the release node won for the date.Commit counts exclude merges and, for 7.x-1.0-alpha1, the six 6.x-2.x and CVS-migration commits it shares with 6.x-1.5. 6.x-1.5 is the only annotated tag. The other 30 are lightweight.
What the validation turned up, and how the file handles it:
Legacy branches:
#1262828 by Pablo Gosse: Fixed issue with regexcites Pablo Gosse's user id, not an issue. The commit is the regex fix for #1949508 (styles/.*?/matching across HTML). The changelog uses the real nid.#1464404: Fixed issue with field_attach_update()points at an Organic Groups issue (#1464404): the unconditionalfield_attach_update()call deleted OG memberships on user sign-up, and #1481260 in this queue was marked its duplicate on 2013-04-23. The line keeps the OG nid and names #1481260 beside it.CHANGELOG.txtas "Added support for FileField Sources". The issue reports that removing a file reused from another node deleted it from the server. The line says both.typeandfieldcolumns of{filefield_paths}. The line follows the commit.CHANGELOG.txtmisses several commits in its range: #2062073 (faulty revision handling removed), #1481260 (hook_entity_update()tohook_field_storage_pre_update()), #2362131 (file permission bits) and the Travis CI setup. 7.x-1.0-beta1's misses #1023690, #1194694, #1019380 and #1206876. 6.x-1.5's misses the Swedish translation (#756898) and the Git-migration cleanups. All added from the commits.5.x-1.xafter 5.x-1.3 (#515044, #529632, #529576, #525354, #522678, #536384, all in the 5.x-1.x-devCHANGELOG.txt) and the one test commit on7.x-1.xafter 7.x-1.2.8.x-1.x (unchanged from the first round):
