Hi, all I am feeling a bit grouchy about the CHANGES file, so please bear with me. What I'd like to suggest is that each committer modify and re-commit the CHANGES file as they commit files. In particular, this allows the person who is closest to the scene to _synopsize_ what they just did to 5 files, or 10 files, and enter it as a one or two-liner in the CHANGES file.
The alternative is what I've been doing: the raw output from 'cvs log' for just the 0.20.1->0.20.2 period is several hundred K; even after reduction with some Perl scripts there was still about 2000 lines to manually examine, and try to synopsize, and right now, after doing half of it, I have writer's block so bad I can't stand to look at the stuff. I'll come up with something so I can update the file, and rename the RC in CVS, but I don't think anyone should have to do this scutwork in future.
