Subject: What should we do with the CHANGES file?

>Hello all
>
>I'm in the process of preparing a release candidate and got a question.
>The root of Apache SIS contains a file named "CHANGES". At first, this
>file was apparently updated everytime a commit was done, together with a
>corresponding JIRA task. But this discipline has not really be followed
>lately. What should we do with this file? Alternatives I can see are:
>
> 1. Leave it unchanged, but it would be misleading for those who may
>    read it since it doesn't list the changes applied in the last 18
>months.
> 2. Copy the SVN logs to that file, but that would be very verbose.
> 3. Copy the list of JIRA tasks to that file, but that would duplicate
>    the release notes [1].
> 4. Consider the file as unmaintained, and consequently remove it. It
>    would still be present in all branches/ and tags/ directories prior
>0.4.
