  Or have I missing something?

 I was thinking about doing this, but i have issues with the 
 scm-plugin 
 so I don't use it :( .
 I am currently using Subversion and I thought about using :
 - svn list repository/tags to get the list of tags
 - svn log --verbose --xml repository/tags  to get the entries by tags
 - svn log --verbose --xml --stop-on-copy repository/trunk to get the 
 latest corrections
 
 The --verbose and --xml options give us much more information 
 than what 
 is displayed with changelog as you have the operation: 
 Modify, Added or 
 Removed.
 
 Currently I have produced a xml file with the logentries grouped by 
 version and with a tag name per release. With some clever XSLT 
 manipulation I should be able to produce a changes.xml
