Can we then proceed with the unicode-2 branch merging then? Sorry, I don't follow. I think there is a misunderstanding here. Splitting the ChangeLog per file was what was blocking the merge. I think that is the misunderstanding. What I asked for was not to "split" the ChangeLog file. It was to simplify it, getting rid of unnecessary duplicate entries. For instance, if we have (foobar): Change xyz. and on a previous date (foobar): New function. then we only need the latter. If foobar is a new function, being installed now, then we only need the "new function" entry.
