Why the hell the user is looking to the changelog file? He shouldn't be. It's not just me. There are plenty of successful projects out there that abandoned the stupid idea of maintaining a text file that is a copy of what we have in our VCS. And if it isn't a copy, you are requiring every single programmer to take his time to write plain useless information there that nobody will read. > > me, who think that an average user of a lib should not need to > install svn (or git or etc...) or use a slow websvn to look quickly at > a changelog file.

YOU think only about yourself. I have the very same reasoning other developers have, based on projects that abandoned the idea of a ChangeLog. Just write well formatted commits - who needs that information are the ones that will have git/svn/etc installed. > > It takes time to write entries but i'm not lazy.
