That's not a what, that's a who.  Would you please elaborate on the what and why?  I haven't seen any obstructionism coming from anyone in terms of repeating the previous style for this releases notes.

Originally Walter  thought it was enough to just list the bugzilla issues.

He was proved wrong and IIRC correctly quite graciously admitted defeat.

Yes, but after Andej did the great changelog for 2.063, Walter publicly admitted that he had been wrong about the changelog. Andrej showed Walter that it _is_ worth doing something more than just a list of bugzilla issues. So, I would assume that whatever Andrej is unhappy with Walter for is something else.

Oh that was it? I recall Walter and I discussing two unrelated issue (null pointers and VMs) where I sort of reversed my view and admitted I considered my previous opinions wrong. He mentioned the changelog, and said "boy was I wrong about that!"

So Andrej consider yourself vindicated, in public and in private.

But please be gentle and use something soft, like a fake snow leopard tail:

Surely having to deal with c++ whenever Walter works on dmd is punishment enough :D.

We'll see if someone else volunteers to do it. I'm not doing it out of protest.

I interpreted that as he originally created the changelog out of protest to Walter's claim that it's not necessary.
