I resurrected changelog.xml which is located at src/doc/changelog.xml and *kindly ask all committers to update it every time they check in something* non-trivial. A short notice on a high level like the ones found in release notes should be just right. The XML is very easy and should be self-explanatory when you look at the other entries. An entry might look like:
<add date="January 15, 2004" author="ozeigermann" bugzilla-id="4711">
Added new build targets to install Slide into Tomcat 4 and 5
</add>Oliver
