GNOME Terminal doesn't use ChangeLog anymore. Instead, we use SVN checkin comments to autogenerate a ChangeLog file at "make dist" time. Use "make ChangeLog" in the toplevel directory to manually create a ChangeLog. Or use http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/gnome-terminal/?view=queryform to look up the version history. When committing a patch to svn, use a checkin comment that describes the changes made. If the checkin is related to a bug, reference the bug number. Example: When removing a toolbar, make its items available again in the toolbar editor. (Bug #131182) Checkin comments MUST use the UTF-8 encoding. Do NOT commit to this module without permission from a maintainer. See the MAINTAINERS file for who they are.
