The NEWS file should explain how the options have been changed, but the
ChangeLog is only concerned about the actual code.  From what you say,
it seems to actual code shares no history with the previous code (a bit
like a "clean room" reimplementation), so the ChangeLog doesn't need to
explain the changes.

> What is difficult is to document new fonctions:

The usual course of action for new functions is to describe them in
ChangeLog as:

    (foo, bar, baz): New function.

so other than enumerating them, there's nothing to do.
