Re: Add CHANGELOG.md file

[Jacques Le Roux]

Hi Guys,

Sorry to resurrect this thread.

With https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-25484 I have cleaned the 
useless and misleading files remaining at nigthlies.

I missed one at https://nightlies.apache.org/ofbiz/trunk/readme/html5/ : CHANGELOG.html 



Now, I wonder if we could not use this file somehow by linking https://ofbiz.apache.org/download.html#tabs-2 (though getting to "Release Notes" tab 
does not work this way)

Of course, that would be only for the stable version.

What do you think ? Does it worth it ?

People do. Whether consumers or developers, the end users of software are
human beings who care about what's in the software. When the software
changes, people want to know why and how.
