   Hi,

   I noticed minor updates where not really documented. There is a changelog for 1.5.1, but nothing since.

   I don't feel like updating ALL files for 1.5.1.1 if only a few of them where modified. I've hacked a few of them, and updating is ALWAYS a hassle. So the more I know, the better I'd feel.
   1.5.1.2 isn't as problematic since the release post already specifies what has been changed.

   But I still miss informations pertaining to the 1.5.1.1 release. Logically enough I looked at http://codex.wordpress.org/Changelog/1.5.1.1 but to no avail.
   Search returned nothing either.

   Anybody has this information ?

   Well, the good thing with http://codex.wordpress.org/Changelog/1.5.1 is that it listed all the modified files.
   I originally posted on the "Installation" forum, not in the Hacking one. I don't really want to know WHAT has changed, but only get a list of all files modified like it was done for 1.5.1, which is enough information for those who asks this type of question... I just need to update the modified files, I don't need to know what they updated, I rely on them for this.

   And so far none of the posts I searched for reply to this question (I admit I only looked at the first 5 results).

   I'm not a developper.

   I'm a regular user with a minor in hacking.

   I just thought and pointed out that it would be a good practice if developpers could be more verbose about the changes, and express them in a non technician language intended for the masses (like me), like the one used for http://codex.wordpress.org/Changelog/1.5.1

   And that would be awesome if we could get a place to read those changes. Specifically, that would be awesome the developers could CREATE :
   http://codex.wordpress.org/Changelog/1.5.1.1
   http://codex.wordpress.org/Changelog/1.5.1.2

   But thanks to you Viper007Bond I can know start my standing ovation for Ryan for providing this : http://wordpress.org/support/topic/34263#post-194075 which is a good start.

   Here's what I did:
   $ cd /tmp
$ mkdir wp
$ cd wp
$ svn co http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress/tags/1.5.1.1
$ cd ..
$ mkdir 1.5.1.2
$ cp /tmp/wordpress/* ./1.5.1.2
$ diff -rq 1.5.1.1 1.5.1.2
Files 1.5.1.1/wp-content/themes/default/header.php and 1.5.1.2/wp-content/themes/default/header.php differ
Files 1.5.1.1/wp-includes/functions.php and 1.5.1.2/wp-includes/functions.php differ
Files 1.5.1.1/wp-includes/template-functions-category.php and 1.5.1.2/wp-includes/template-functions-category.php differ
Files 1.5.1.1/wp-includes/template-functions-general.php and 1.5.1.2/wp-includes/template-functions-general.php differ
Files 1.5.1.1/wp-includes/version.php and 1.5.1.2/wp-includes/version.php differ
   (Note: I manually removed from the list of above all the .svn entries)

   So, the list of changed files between 1.5.1.1 and 1.5.1.2 is:
   * /wp-content/themes/default/header.php
   * /wp-includes/functions.php
   * /wp-includes/template-functions-category.php
   * /wp-includes/template-functions-general.php
   * /wp-includes/version.php

   Here's the Codex Changelog, per your request.
