Re: [hibernate-dev] Changelog file in Hibernate ORM
I don't like the idea of a 5.0 change log having 4.x issues. It kind of
defeats the whole purpose.
As a compromise, I can see noting the last previous family release in the
changlog. Again using 5.0 as an example, make a note that 5.0 development
started after 4.3.6

Here is my 2 cents.
I find it helpful that the changelog contains all jiras for all releases
that feed into a particular version. It makes it clear when later branches
were branched off.
This is particularly helpful when we are maintaining multiple branches and
commits are being backported to different branches.
My preference would be to truncate the changelogs to the point at which
4.2, 4.3, and 5 branches diverge.
For master: include everything starting form 4.3.6.Final (the last version
in master changelog that is also included in 4.3 changelog).
For 4.3: include everything starting from 4.1.5.SP1 (the last version in
4.3 changelog that is also included in 4.2 changelog).
For 4.2: leave changelog.txt as is.
This helps me track down when things are amiss (e.g., for regressions). I
know there are other ways to investigate things related to
misplaced/forgotten commits, but the changelogs have been a good starting
point for me.
