Generating them from commit messages would do exactly that. Right now = most=20 people copy all or at least parts of the ChangeLog entry to the commit = message=20 anyway. I agree that the format is useful and I absolutely agree that = the=20 commit message should not necessarily only be a copy of the ChangeLog e= ntry. But those points are not really an obstacle or argument against auto- generation of the ChangeLog _files_ from the commit messages Regards, R=C3=BCdiger
