Yeah, we didn't do a great job of publishing this behavior change. Sorry about that. > Is it worth the work to update the changelog at all?

I try to update mine (although they aren't being included, whoops) on big changes- bug fixes and changing configure flags count, but a minor version bump without Arch-specific changes just adds noise. I think most people are using something similar to GNU changelog format. It would unfortunately be a bit more work to add these to the website, as they are not in the db.tar.gz file, and all of the data for the site comes out of those. > [andy...@workstation64 tmp]$ find /var/lib/pacman/ | grep changelog | > wc -l 48 > > Not many packages seem to use that feature. > > -Andy >
