I really dislike ChangeLog files, they predate any source control version. Now CVS/SVN/Git/Whatever nicely replaces that. So generating it automatically is the way to go. AFAIK changelogs are supposed to be the reverse order, like maop does, so changing to it is becoming more standard. -- Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri http://profusion.mobi embedded systems -------------------------------------- MSN: barbi...@gmail.com Skype: gsbarbieri Mobile: +55 (19) 9225-2202 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ enlightenment-devel mailing list enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel
