Provide a human-readable changelog

Context and Problem Statement

Changes of a release have to be communicated. How and which stile to use?

Considered Options

• Keep-a-changelog format with freedom in the bullet points
• Keep-a-changelog format and fixed terms

Decision Outcome

Chosen option: "Keep-a-changelog format with freedom in the bullet points", because

• Keep-a-changelog structures the changelog

• Each entry can be structured to be understandable

• Forcing to prefix each line with We fixed, We changed, ... seems to be read strange.

  We nevertheless try to follow that style.
