      When a build remains unstable, Hudson sends an email with the subject line:
      Hudson build is still unstable: <project> <build-number>

      and the text of the message contains a link that says:
      See http://<master-URL>/job/<project>/<build-number>/changes

      I think it would be better if the link went to <project>/changes (i.e. the
      summary page for all changes, not the change page for the most recent build
      number). The reason is that the change that made the build unstable was not one
      of the changes in the most recent build, but an earlier one.

          Jesse Glick added a comment -

          Agreed. (Changes in the most recent build might have added failures.)

          Better would of course be to link to the actual test failures (from which you
          can navigate to the first failing build, hence its changelog); this is possible
          with the email-ext plugin.
