Руководство по написанию changelog/Пример

%changelog

Формировать его удобнее (и надёжнее!) при помощи add_changelog (существуют также макросы для vim и *emacs).

Коллеги, в правильном составлении changelog'ов среди вас замечено лишь несколько человек.
Зачастую из-за неинформативного changelog'а другие разработчики теряют драгоценное время.
Если не знаете, с кого брать пример, посмотрите на changelog'и, которые пишет Сергей Власов.
