Yes, sounds reasonable. Those can be included into dlang.org automatically as part of release script anyway.

In the meantime, just require that a language change should have a corresponding pull request for the changelog before merging.

For what it's worth, that's how things were setup a long time ago (by me), but a lot of people argued enough that it was dropped.  I can't remember why.

One thing that I've seen done and liked is that branches worthy of release notes drop a file in somewhere like docs/release/notes/dev/$branchname.md or something (pick your favorite doc format and path) and then making notes for an actual release is taking those, collating them and finally cleaning out the directory for the next release.

This cannot be added to homebrew until there is a new stable release of dub.

Sorry, we'll try to get that for the next release which will come pretty soon.
Noone noticed me of that to change the release scripts and it didn't yet have enough test exposure.

If you look at the existing changelogs, they are much more detailed.

Merge conflicts in changelog can be reduced using merge=union, btw.

Well 2 month, that's right before dconf, sounds like a good plan.

Why is that?
Anyhow dub is in beta and ready soon.

Congrats! Although, I must admit, I was a little saddened to see that multiple alias this didn't make the release, I thought it was finalized... I should have kept a closer watch.
