The above ChangeLog is not standard.  Just take a look at all of the other
entries in this file and you'll see things like it's missing a blank line after 
the
initial entry, it's missing filenames, and it is missing function names.  Also
the "voice" used is supposed to be active not passive, i.e., change:

        * Exit code IDS_REBOOT_REQUIRED is returned if needed.

to

        * install.cc (do_install_thread): Return exit code IDS_REBOOT_REQUIRED
        if needed.
