[Asterisk-Dev] New ChangeLog in CVS HEAD Asterisk tree

[Kevin P. Fleming]

All (especially those with commit privileges):

I have renamed the old ChangeLog file to CHANGES, this file will be 
intended to keep a high-level list of the important changes that happen 
between Asterisk releases. I will begin updating the 'prior to -beta1' 
portion of the file shortly; additional eyes to make sure I don't miss 
anything would be useful.

I have also added a GNU-style ChangeLog file to actually start keeping 
track of individual changes made in the tree; this is somewhat of an 
experiment, since I don't know how easy this is going to be to maintain 
when the bulk of our changes come in via patches. There is also some 
overlap with the CVS commit messages, obviously, but at least this file 
is kept in the tree itself. For now I am going to make my entries using 
Emacs' 'changelog' mode which makes it painless to add/update entries; 
for those of you using other editors you may have to find a similar tool 
in that editor or just copy-and-paste an existing entry to add yours to 
the top of the file.

If you are unclear how these entries are to be added or what they are 
supposed to convey, take a short glance at the GNU coding standards 
document that covers ChangeLog entries; it's a useful read.
