confused about changelog

Hi,

I find the notations in the 1.3.9h changelog to be confusing. I wonder if someone could clarify for me.

It says...

Deleted Files (since release of v1.3.9a/b/c/d/e/f/g)
* /admin/includes/languages/english/cache.php (deleted in 1.3.9g)
* /admin/includes/functions/gzip_compression.php (deleted in 1.3.9f)
* /includes/functions/gzip_compression.php (deleted in 1.3.9f)

Is this not a list of files deleted in 1.3.9h? If so, why is it saying these files were deleted in earlier versions?

Similarly...

New Files (since release of v1.3.9a/b/c/d/e/f/g)
* /admin/alert_page.php (added in 1.3.9g)
* /admin/includes/functions/extra_functions/add_cookie_path_switch.php (NEW in v1.3.9h)
* /admin/includes/init_includes/init_sanitize.php (was added in 1.3.9g, but now can be deleted in v1.3.9h)
* /admin/includes/languages/english/alert_page.php (added in 1.3.9g)

Two of those were added in earlier versions, but are listed here? And one was added in g but is to be deleted now?

Perhaps this list from the 1.3.9h docs is a consolidated list of all changes since 1.3.9a. But I'm sure I've seen advice here that says to make all the changes as listed in all the changelogs from each version, consecutively. In which case this wouldn't be a consolidated list but only a 1.3.9h list.

I'm sure I'm just not getting it, but that's par for the course (to use a Masters metaphor.) :blink:

The information presented is correct. Notations referring to specific prior versions are there to minimize confusion if someone is upgrading through multiple steps and wonders why files are not present when they were before.
And the repetition of files deleted in prior versions is intentional so that people get a second reminder to actually do the deletion. If you've already done that, good for you ... saves you a step.

Thanks Doc.
