But it is great to have a story line of the program. Working with the
CVS is difficult to have
a general view of the evolution of a program. And there are lots of
people with try the code
and don't know how to use the CVS or they are not connected.

I think that the ChangeLog is a very important information for the
developers and users of
a program.
