[Axiom-developer] ChangeLog on Silver

[Gabriel Dos Reis]

Hi,

  I have some changes to Silver down in pipeline (some of them were
brought here and discussed on the list).  However, before doing that,
I would like to establish as a policy that we use -- from now on --
the `standard' ChangeLog format to record history of changes.  This
means we enter entries like this:

   2007-06-30  Gabriel Dos Reis  <address@hidden>

           * vmlisp.lisp.pamphlet (MACRO-MISSINGARGS): Fix thinko.


If you're using Emacs for editing, Emacs can help you if you're in the
file you're editing (or the body of the function you're changing) and
hit the sequence

      C-x 4 a.


Unlike GCC, GDB, Axiom.build-improvements, and some other projects, I
suggest we use only one ChangeLog file, to keep the spirit of the
current practice.

I'll be implementing that on Silver shortly.
