That's exactly what I was talking about:
for me it means 95% copy and paste amd still takes quite a lot of time since it has to be organised into modules. Thats why I mentioned >boring< and like the idea of a script to do that. Thanks for using caps and acting immature to point that out.

You guys with your "Creating a changelog is boring" are really really acting immature and irresponsible.

I, considered the most "arrogant", "asshole" and "abrasive" person of this project, who would "never low myself" to writing a changelog after "Rewriting the kernel" ALWAYS FOUND THE F*CKING TIME TO SIT DOWN FOR AN HOUR AND DO MY LOG.

How HARD can it possibly be, when, no offense, most of you do 1/5th of the number of commits I used to do?

Use SVN to grab the commit log, use a regexp to remove non-YOURUSERNAMEHERE logs, and if you have BEEN WRITING GOOD LOGS FOR EACH COMMIT, you can pretty much COPY PASTE THAT LIST, and then organize it into modules.

Oh yeah, to those of you whose commit logs have been "fix a bug.", well SUCK IT UP.

The person who said it was a mess was me, and the last time around due to the inconsistent commit message formats used by different devs it did create one.  And as one of the people responsible for formatting the changelog, my workload increased due to it.  Which was why I wanted a guideline/template ready for devs to use in their commits before we tried using the script again.  And as you're likely aware, I haven't been on consistently lately due to schoolwork so the final decision on the format is unknown to me.

Nice to see opinions, i wasnt aware about Matthias script. Can it be set to make a Changelog by author? I mean, not processing all the commit messages but just from those commiters that want to use it?I think there are devs that doesnt know about the existence of this script. :)
If more and more devs joins this project, then Changelog is going to be a pain in the...so automated tools will be a must.
