Re: Changelog question


This is pretty good, except that some of the lines go over 80 columns.
Remember that (although you may not be able to see it in your editor)
the tab at the front moves forward 8 columns, so in your editor you
need to wrap at about 70 columns if you have tabs set to be two
spaces.  (I would strongly recommend trying to fix your editor
to set tab stops at 8 columns instead.)

Some advice for the future:
- there's no need to write anything extra if you say "New file".
- there's no need to list the same filename (like configure.in) more
  than once.

This is good enough for now, though.
