Tres raises a good point. We should continue to maintain a CHANGES.txt 
or a 'Changes' section in README.txt for all zope.* projects now. And I 
would recommend that others do the same with z3c.* etc. packages.


Calling the checkin police... :)

All eggified pacakges that I am involved in have a CHANGES.txt file for each 
release.

Agreed.

I recommend using a changes section in README.txt because it's tricky  
getting distutils to include other root-level files and I want to  
keep our setup scripts as simple as we can.

Hm (and sigh).  I was following what I thought was another Tres  
suggestion: put CHANGES.txt in the package, and a pointer in the top  
level to the package's version.

That is reasonable too, although it's more work than what I'm  
suggesting. :)
