I don't object to keeping those dates, but it completely messes up the sequence of entries in the ChangeLog file, as illustrated below. When merging in changes that were made on various dates, the proper thing to do is to combine and condense the change log entries and enter them under a single date, which is the date that you installed all the changes. Kai, could you do that? I'd like to credit Michael with things he has done -- so should I make two ChangeLog entries out of this, one for Michael and one for me? That is a good way to do it.
