It is manually updated, but I use emacs, which has a lot of
"ChangeLog" knowledge built in.  ^x-4-a in a function will
go up the dir tree looking for a ChangeLog.  If none is found,
it creates a new one in the current directory.  It creates
the ChangeLog entry, auto-inserting a lot of the information
(for example, if you are in a perl sub or C function, it knows
they func name and adds that to the file part).

My ChangeLog habits are based on this and other conventions
used by the Tcl core team to manage change information over
time in CVS (p4 or bk would be better, but we are on CVS for
now).
