The ChangeLog is written by hand. theoreticly it's possible to generate it from the
CVS commit messages, but I would still recomend not to do it : writing the ChangeLog
by hand forces the developer to submit clearly described patches.

Why would I want to have two "stable" branches ?

You're thinking "commercial". sorry - open source doesn't work that way. Testing is
done by the users, so if the users will hold for a tested release, one will never
appear. we need to get things going now, by declaring the CVS as it is now "stable",
package and "release" it.

I don't see why would we need more then two branches - a stable branch and development
HEAD. too much branching will only slow development down. always remember that Kannel
is a low visibility project with little commercial support: all development is done as
needed by the users of the software. if you make it hard for the developers to
develop, you won't have any development done.
