Hi, We use the CHANGES.txt file to record all the issues that have been fixed in the codebase. However, the same information (and much more) is already conveniently accessible in Jira, see for example [1] for the 0.2 release. Would anyone mind if we just dropped the CHANGES.txt file?
Alternatively we could repurpose it as a higher level release notes file that records more substantial changes in more detail. For example instead of just one-liners with just the bug titles, we could for example include a paragraph or so for each notable API or configuration change and just refer to Jira for the less notable changes.
