Kill Bill vs Kill Bill: at a glance
What is Kill Bill?
Kill Bill keeps two release lines alive with small invoice-template changes.
Kill Bill ships on two lines: 0.25.x tags with no published notes, and 0.24.x releases that list small changes. Recent 0.24 work is about invoices: shared tenant branding (logo, company info, colours) in the HTML invoice generator, a revert of a branding template key, and partial-locale support for invoice and catalog translations.
What is Kill Bill?
Kill Bill's 0.25 line ships tags with no notes while 0.24 does the actual work
Kill Bill is publishing two lines that behave nothing alike. The 0.25 releases — 0.25.1 through 0.25.4 across July and August — carry a single line of body text apiece, the maven-release-plugin's tag-copy message, with no changelog at all. The 0.24 line carries structured notes with issue references, and it is where the recent user-facing work sits: shared tenant branding for HTML invoices in 0.24.20, then a revert of part of it in 0.24.21 five days later.

Kill Bill keeps two release lines alive with small invoice-template changes.
◆ Current state
Kill Bill ships on two lines: 0.25.x tags with no published notes, and 0.24.x releases that list small changes. Recent 0.24 work is about invoices: shared tenant branding (logo, company info, colours) in the HTML invoice generator, a revert of a branding template key, and partial-locale support for invoice and catalog translations.
◆ Where it's heading
The visible feature work is per-tenant invoice presentation, with branding and localisation becoming configurable rather than hard-coded. The 0.25 line ships regularly but its notes are bare Maven tags, so its direction can't be read from the entries.
◆ Prediction
More invoice-presentation and localisation changes on 0.24.x are likely; what 0.25.x is building toward isn't visible in the entries.

◆ Current state
Kill Bill is publishing two lines that behave nothing alike. The 0.25 releases — 0.25.1 through 0.25.4 across July and August — carry a single line of body text apiece, the maven-release-plugin's tag-copy message, with no changelog at all.

◆ Where it's heading
Reading the 0.24 line alone, the theme is invoice-generation robustness continuing from 0.24.18's error handling, retries and account parking, into 0.24.20's branding refactor. The August 12 revert of the template branding key suggests that refactor is not settled. What the 0.25 line contains is genuinely unknown from this feed — the tags exist, the notes do not.
◆ Prediction
Expect the tenant-branding work to return in a corrected form on the 0.24 line, since the revert removed the key rather than the surrounding refactor. Whether 0.25 is a development line or a release line is not something these entries answer.
