2a) Suggestion: can you publish the syslog-ng changelogs in a single file appending changes, or a searchable database? As far as I can tell, I currently have to download the changelog for each individual syslog-ng version released in order to search and see if an issue was released and that is a huge PITA.
The easiest way to do this is to check the git history, I try to write readable commit logs and that's easy to search using gitk.
The NEWS file is wiped out in every major release. Probably not the best idea, but that's how I did it in the past 14 years, primarily because it is a source for merge failures when merging in an older branch to the new one.
Still, the best option is gitk.
Another option is to persuade me to write a script that extracts the NEWS files for all releases from git, and bastes together a "complete" NEWS file. That can be published alongside the snapshot tarballs I make. -- |8]
