Dear Contributors and Maintainers,

Since we are switching to towncrier for managing the changelog now (see
[1]), there is one important thing for you to keep in mind when
committing or merging:
*
*

*If a change is noteworthy, there has to be a newsfragment file for the
changelog.*

*Otherwise the change will not appear in the release notes/changelog.*

Compiling the changelog manually was a huge effort, thus towncrier will
speed up releasing a lot.
Due to towncrier I'll be able to release quicker (and hopefully do more
often :-) But this also meant that I well send only a few minutes on the
release-notes - just for sorting the entries a bit. If there is no
newsfragment, the change will not be recorded - which is a bad thing if
the change is user-visible.

You can find more details at
https://pyinstaller.readthedocs.io/en/latest/development/changelog-entries.html
(to be published later today). For sure we will need some time to get
used to this, esp, on which "category" to use, when to use several
entries or when to re-use/copy or maybe even change the newsfragment
from anpother pull-request.

Noteworthy (but undocumented): If you have neither a pull-request number
nor a issue-number, use a *unique* alpha-numeric prefix (without dots!).
This will make the fragment to show up in the changelog without a number.

Thanks for you supporting PyInstaller!
