As the "one person reporting confusion" might I just expand on why I
think it doesn't sit too well not to document changes in the Changelog.
Someone sees a date change in the SVN tag after a few days of
"inactivity" and assumes that there's been a change. They go to
the Changelog and find no changes, not even a notice of unspecified
"various textural changes".
Should they:
a) assume that there really are no changes to the instructions or
packages
b) assume that there has been a mistake in the rendering of the
documentation and seemingly clutter up the lists with queries
as to whether that is actually the case or wait until someone
"in the know" flags it up, as seemingly happened when the whole
Changelog went AWOL a few days ago.
FWIW, it was that combination of the Changleog going missing and a SVN
tag change with no changes a few days later that made me wonder if
there was still something screwy with the Changelog processing and
resulted in me "being confused".
