11 I never assumed to write xml by hand - Stuarts email sound a bit like it - but
12 even "field1"<enter>, "field2"<enter>, ... would be annoying. If echangelog
13 would be smart and parse the input, that would be ok. Maybe I got it wrong,
14 but I was under the impression that there would be at least one new field be
15 introduced, indicating the importance of a bug fix; And a increasing number
16 of fields wouldn't make parsing input simpler. If using xml doesn't
17 complicate writing the ChangeLog I'm all for it.
