If I click on the changes report link at the bottom of the page it takes me to http://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/changes-report.html <http://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/changes-report.html>, but if I click on the changelog link and then select manual change log it takes me to http://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/changes-report.html#a1.0-alpha1 <http://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/changes-report.html#a1.0-alpha1>. Since there is no a1.0-alpha it shows the top of the page, so I don’t really notice that it is wrong.
