[Pw_forum] Updating of Changelogs for new releases ?

[Steven Kirk]

Hello,

Firstly, many thanks to the authors of these excellent codes for all 
their hard work and dedication.

Would it be possible, when a new release is made (e.g. the recent 3.1.1 
bugfix release), that the script 'cvs2cl.pl' be run to update the 
Changelog, otherwise users of release (non-CVS) versions have no idea 
which bugs have been fixed or which other changes have been made.

The Changelog currently distributed with the release versions says that 
'cvs2cl.pl' should be used to get the full up-to-date changelog, but 
this script is not distributed with release versions.

Of course, users wanting to know if bugs or changes have occurred that 
might affect their results *could* get the CVS version solely for the 
purposes of obtaining the Changelog, but this seems like unnecessary 
'jumping through hoops'. The script could be run just once per release 
by the developers, then everyone (not just CVS-version users) would have 
the benefit of an up-to-date Changelog.

Please ?
