I am not a big fan of trying to maintain developer-level 
history/changelog document. In a project the size of Chandler I think it 
is simply impossible. I would rather rely on querying for the 
changelogas via Bonsai (or some other similar tool). So, I in fact would 
be in favor of getting rid of the developer level change history altogether.

Note that I do think the "what's new in this release" documents are 
useful for end users, and to some extend developers as well. But I think 
these should be hand created every release (not milestone).
