Re: [AUCTeX-devel] Drop ChangeLog

[Tassilo Horn]

Hi Mosè,

I've edited the GNUMakefile in the elpa branch so that it generates a 
ChangeLog from git and ChangeLog.1. But then I need at least two commits 
per release because version and date are read from the generated ChangeLog. 
Updating CL.1 before would probably be easier.

Bye,
Tassilo
