I've been thinking about this myself recently. The problem is that if I write 
something now, changes are high I have to change it again before releaseing 
1.4.0.

We could create a file "UPGRADING" or something like that along with the 
CHANGELOG file and with each commit, make short notes if something changes 
regarding the ports or netif drivers. When releasing, we can then reorganize 
the section from CVS HEAD (since last release, much as in CHANGELOG) to better 
summarize it. This wouldn't bee too much of an effort during development and 
would both allow upgrading from the last release to CVS HEAD as well as 
upgrading from an older release to the current release by making the changes 
each release requires (of course, that would be in the future since < 1.3.2 
wouldn't be in that file...).
