[Bash-completion-devel] Usefulness of current CHANGES file

Hello.

The CHANGES files has 160 lines for difference between 1.1 and 1.0, 
carefuly detailing who has done what (provided 'who' registered 'what'). 
However, the usefulness for final user is quite low, as the actual 
differences (bug fixes, new completions) are buried among tons of other 
'split foo to contrib/foo' lines...

I think a simple file with just a list of fixed bugs, a list of new and 
improved completions, and a unique remark about code splitting and 
reformating ("code cleanup") would be far more useful. And we have a git 
repository for specific issue such as 'who added --bar option to foo 
completion'.

You must've hit the wrong any key.
