Summary	0007836: Changelog includes non-released versions
Description	With the addition of the roadmap, it makes sense to me to filter out non-released versions in the changelog. At the moment, these are still shown.
Steps To Reproduce	See eg. at the moment: http://www.mantisbt.org/bugs/changelog_page.php has "mantisbt - 1.0.7" with three issues, http://www.mantisbt.org/bugs/roadmap_page.php has the same version, with "3 of 4 issue(s) resolved."
Additional Information	Attached a very quick fix with a few lines from roadmap_page.php
Tags	No tags attached.

vboctor 2007-03-17 01:35 manager ~0014202	This is by design. The roadmap only includes issues related to non-released versions and those that have "Target Version" set. The changelog include all releases and those with "Fixed in Version" set. Hence, I don't see roadmap replacing changelog. Changelog should include all issues fixed, roadmap should typically include major issues that are planned, not everyone will go through the effort of adding all minor bug fixes and issues into the roadmap. Although I think for maintenance release it is very useful to do such planning. I think it should be a configuration option that controls whether to show information relating to non-released versions or not. I can see that in commercial applications, it may make sense to only show such information once the version is released.
