=== ChangeLog discontinued === With the move to git, this module is switching from a ChangeLog file to relying on commit messages to provide change history. Please write commit messages in the format described at http://live.gnome.org/Git/CommitMessages Below is a copy of this format: === begin example commit === [tag] Short explanation of the commit Longer explanation explaining exactly what's changed, whether any external or private interfaces changed, what bugs were fixed (with bug tracker reference if applicable) and so forth. Be concise but not too brief. === end example commit === - The commit message is mainly for the other people, so they should be able to understand it now and six months later. - Always add a brief description of the commit to the _first_ line of the commit and terminate by two newlines (it will work without the second newline, but that is not nice for the interfaces). - First line (the brief description) must only be one sentence and should start with a capital letter unless it starts with a lowercase symbol or identifier. Don't use a trailing period either. Don't exceed 72 characters. - You can prefix the first line with one tag, to make it easier to know to which part of the module the commit applies. For example, a commit with "[fish] Make it work with newer fortune" in the gnome-panel module clearly applies to the fish applet. - The main description (the body) is normal prose and should use normal punctuation and capital letters where appropriate. Normally, for patches sent to a mailing list it's copied from there. This main description can be empty if the change is self-explanatory (eg: "Add DOAP file"). - When committing code on behalf of others use the --author option, e.g. git commit -a --author "Joe Coder ". - When referring to a bug, you can use this form: bgo#12345. Use bgo for bugzilla.gnome.org, but you can also reference bugs in other bug trackers: rh means bugzilla.redhat.com, bnc means bugzilla.novell.com, lp means launchpad.net, etc. - When a commit closes a bug, the commit message should contain a line like: Closes: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12345
