CHANGES.txt is the full change-log, but I try to keep it as human-readable
as possible.  I then use it as the basis of press releases
(e.g., http://www.tuxpaint.org/latest/ ) and other announcements.

(I never got in the habit of doing both ChangeLog and NEWS, which I guess
is the GNU way.  *shrug*)

Also note that I only update the version section once a release is made.
I do update the date (e.g., if I made some change today, the line near
the top would simply change from "2009.April.1 (0.9.21)" to
"2009.April.3 (0.9.21)")

Hope that helps,
