I was thinking of dropping the changelog as the primary means of communicating the changes made between versions. I think that the JIRA issue list marked as Fixed In the appropriate version gives a much more logical breakdown of the changes. It is broken up by functional change and also links through to the SVN changesets. This is why I am very keen on making sure that there is an issue to track each feature change. The disadvantages to using the JIRA issue list are that it is not a single file that can be read offline, and that it is not searchable by changed file name. It is possible to get the revision history for a file in SVN and the comments should link to the issue being worked on. I just haven't found the Changelog file very usefull. If there is enough support for having a Changelog file then we will maintain it in addition to the JIRA issues list. Nicko
