You omitted the exception bit of the quote. Let me re-add it: >> The only time it's really necessary IMO is when it's the only change >> you're making. So if there's other logged changes, yeah, omit "Version bump" as well. It's redundant. But if it's the only change, by his logic, which as a regular changelog reader I agree with, either "Version bump" or "Remove old" should remain so there's at least some human entered message. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
