There is an optional <changelog> tag in metadata.xml.
"Should contain a URL where the location of the upstream changelog can be
found. The URL must be version independent and must point to a changelog
which is only updated on new releases of the corresponding package. (This
also implies that one can link to an automatically updated changelog in
case of vcs snapshots only.) "
