i must have missed something! /me goes reading emails...

pacman -Qc will show the changelog.  I think there's a tool to make changelogs too, where you can specify what goes in them.

Of bigger things to notice, I did see you put your entry at the bottom
instead of the top. The rest of the orders were chronological from the
bottom up, and ChangeLogs are usually in that order.

Good catch - I missed that.  Yeah, Varun's changelog entry is on the wrong end of the log.

Thanks for pointing this out. I actually committed the ChangeLog by accident, and looks like something good came out of it..I assume were supposed to commit the ChangeLog now,( based on what travis had to say)? I'll switch to more conventional log entry style next time, no problem.
