I'm really not sure what y'all are +1'ing Emmanuel and Sanne. You want to
keep a massive changelog.txt containing all history forever?

Ctrl+F + quick scan to know what has changed in a library or know what is
affecting me. JIRA is not the most intuitive UI in the universe. With allt
he bug statuses, the various intermediary releases to select etc, nothing
beats changelog.txt.
+1
- JIRA's UI is not too bad but let's remember that while we use it
since years, others might not feel comfortable with it
- many of those receiving our "dist" package might not have internet
access at all
- the dist packages is long term archived, like we include sources it
should contain a snapshot of all state. I like JIRA but who knows how
long it will be there?
