Hey All,
I want to follow up on something that was briefly discussed at the summit
this week.  Many people do not like the Changelog and feel like it can be a
PITA to deal with.  One of the reasons we have the changelog is because
there are so many commits in a given release, that it is hard to comb
through all of them to figure out what noteworthy changes or bug fixes went
into the code.  One thing that may help with this problem is to use enable
the squash and merge feature on Github for pull requests [1].   This
feature would squash all commits in a PR into one commit.  If we pair the
one commit with a good commit message, we would essentially get the ability
to create the changelog just from the commits.

So, I would like to propose that we enable the squash and merge feature in
the Traffic Control Github repo and use that going forward.  Thoughts?

Thanks,
Dave
