I've committed "my" CHANGELOG (with few modifications), I'll add it to packages, so it's available. We still need to decide if we put it on the announcement message or not (I vote for: providing a summary *AND* then the detailed log)
Can you have a look and add info as needed ? Thanks Seb 2008/12/31 Sebastien Lelong <[email protected]> > Hi Rob, > > >> To my opinion your change log is too explicit for users.
