I honestly think that that gives a _far_ better impression than simply giving 
a link to a bugzilla query, and it's how most open source projects do their 
changelogs. The basic look of our changelog with 2.060 and earlier was fairly 
good. It's just that the bug list wasn't automatically generated. What we've 
done this time offered a reasonably quick way to get an automatic list, but I 
think that we should shoot for making it look more like it used to but have 
the list be automatically generated rather than sticking with the bugzilla 
query. I'd do it, but doing it well will probably take some javascript voodoo 
that's well beyond my skill level, as my experience with javascript is about 
zero. The best I can do is write a quick D program that'll generate the list 
and then paste that into the changelog (which is what I did with 2.060), but 
that won't auto-update.
