Thanks thanks, also for nitpicking.

Yup I know. This is a problem. I use the ChangeLog for myself to keep
track of what I did, even if some changes where overriden later on.

And yes, I intended it to be a user ChangeLog, but I didn't expect the
amount of work, changes, etc I had to do, and I wanted to document the
changes in a readable from.

I guess for one of the next versions I will move the ChangeLog file from
the svn depot to CHANGES and do nothing with it besides documenting what
I do (or someone else), and create a Changelog file which is more
`standard'. And it will contain for -2 nothing more than: First upload
to unstable ;-) The rest is not of importance, or?

I hope that Neil is of the same opinion, I *honestly* don't want to
build/check/test/run another -2 ... I had already 3 or 4 of them.

Best wishes

Norbert
