Hi, is there any chance you can mark the release versions in the change log? When I look at the change log, it's difficult to immediately pick out which changes have been made since version 0.7501 was released. Best regards, - Håvard

I'm using a script to generate the ChangeLog directly from the repo history, so I actually don't have the release VERSION at that point in time. I've been meaning for some time now (we're talking years) to redo the tag history to include the appropriate bits from the trunk commits. Once I do that, I can generate the ChangeLog from the tag history instead, and you will get your wish. I'll leave this ticket open, but I wouldn't hold my breath... :( John

I've resolved this issue by the expedient of switching to Mercurial, which displays the tags in the Changes for me. I'm going to improve the formatting, but at least you can find the tag (looks like [0.80] in the log)
