[QGIS-Developer] Changelog for 3.2 now active

Tue Feb 27 07:36:33 PST 2018

Hi

Great inputs below - we also have an open ticket to use a GitHub hook to auto-add feature entries which should make the process a little less tedious…..

Thank you so much Regis and everyone else who has been helping with the changelog!

Regards

Tim
