+<!-- Release change log structure
+
+Each release has a matching log of changes which were made for that and
+earlier releases. Earlier releases means anything with a lower number (e.g.
+5.0.18 is lower than 5.1.2) which was released before this one. The log is
+kept in the file doc/manual/user_ChangeLogImpl.xml. Anything worth mentioning,
+particularly new features and fixed bugs, with a trac bug number if possible,
+should be added to the top of the change log (that is, the section for the
+upcoming release) for the branch in which it first appears - stable or
+development - before the next release. If you back-port it to older branches
+please add an entry there too. When a new major release is made, change log
+sections for earlier releases are merged in.
+
+Change log sections are split into two groups: major new features (normally
+only for dot zero releases) and fixes. In addition, the entries in each group
+are ordered as follows:
+
+    VMM-related entries (most important)
+    GUI-related entries (most visible for users)
+    Device-related entries
+    VBoxManage/API/Main-related entries
+    Host-related entries
+    Guest-related entries
+    BIOS/EFI/ACPI-related entries
+
+Please do further ordering as seems appropriate by importance and visibility for
+users, e.g. audio before serial ports and generally Windows before Linux.  Please
+also try to describe the user impact, not the technical details, and only use
+technical terms if no non-technical ones are clear enough.
