The meanings of the latter 8 tags have changed recently; the ignore
tags ignore the bug for the purpose of a testing propagation. The
release tags, which used to only indicate which bugs affected a
- specific release, now indicate when a bug can be archived, and are
- otherwise ignored by the BTS. However, they may be utilized by other
- tools like the testing propagation scripts.
+ specific release, now indicate when a bug can be archived and the set
+ of releases for which a bug can be considered to be found or fixed.
