* ChangeLog:
- The ChangeLog contains all the changes made since the last stable release.
- If anything is changed in git, write a decent commit message documenting
- your work. This commit message will be included as is in the ChangeLog
- file for the next stable release. Users of development code should refer
- to the `git log` output or the on-line log.
- For more details on the format, see the SANE git page on the website.
- * ChangeLog-1.0.0, ChangeLog-1.0.1 (...):
- These files contain the ChangeLogs of older releases. Once a new release has
- been made, the current ChangeLog renamed to ChangeLog-1.something.something
- and a new empty ChangeLog is created.
+ The ChangeLog contains all the changes made since sane-backends-1.0.28
+ or a stub explaining how to create an up-to-date list of changes.
+ ChangeLogs for all releases up to and including 1.0.28 can be found in
+ the ChangeLogs/ directory. Please note that we skipped 1.0.26.
