[hibernate-dev] Changelog file in Hibernate ORM

[Steve Ebersole]

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
