Unfortunately, lately it has turned into a litle bit
of a file tracking commits to base, with a little bit of user level
information and a lot of gaps in between to
do either one right, bleh!
Therefore add a real user-parsable NEWS file in which new features
and bug fixes for each release will be advertised,
starting with the contents of 1.6.0
Here's hoping that from now on the ChangeLog will turn into a file
that truly tracks commits to base, with proper revision
numbers for each entry and ticket numbers in case of bug fixes,
after being spared from having to remain user-parsable.
Can't people who are interested in that kind of information just read
the Subversion log? I don't want to have to bother with updating the
ChangeLog every time I change something on base. Granted, it's not
that often for me. But for others who make many changes on base, this
would seem to be annoying.
