[DelazJ]

Hi

I'm also +1 for a more described commit: things have improved this last
year but still some "Unfortunately this naughty coder did not write a
description... :-("

markdown or restructuredText? I'd think that plain text is much better...

 I do not feel that long entries are bad. You do not have to click here and
there to find more information and see the global picture: all is there in
one place. all is then needed is to copy-paste and clean/adapt to the
context.

Thanks to all those involved in changelog writing; it'll be of real help to
the documentation.

Harrissou

- Think also to ease the work of translators
