TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I'm editing release notes and have a list of corrected bugs that are
written like this:
"When an entry was copied, it wasn't possible to record its name using
the name recorder."
It could also read:
"When an entry is copied, it is now possible to record its name..."
I've seen both styles used, but am wondering if one is better than the
other.
(BTW, not all the bugs are that simple and I'm not sure they could all
be re-written that way.)
