1 | Emacs generally follows the GNU coding standards when it comes to ChangeLogs: |
| 2 | http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Change-Logs.html | |

4 | One exception is that we still sometimes quote `like-this' (as the |
| 5 | standards used to recommend) rather than 'like-this' (as they do now), | |
| cbd52d16 GM |
6 | because `...' is so widely used elsewhere in Emacs. |

10 | If installing changes written by someone else, make the ChangeLog |
| 11 | entry in their name, not yours. | |

15 | There is no need to make change log entries for files such as NEWS, |
| 16 | MAINTAINERS, and FOR-RELEASE. | |
| 17 | "There is no need" means you don't have to, but you can if you want to. | |

| 21 | There is no need to indicate regeneration of files such as configure | |
| 22 | in ChangeLog. | |

| 26 | Preferred form for several entries with the same content: | |
| 27 | ||
| 28 | * help.el (view-lossage): | |
| 29 | * kmacro.el (kmacro-edit-lossage): | |
| 30 | * edmacro.el (edit-kbd-macro): Fix docstring, lossage is now 300 keys. | |

| 32 | (Rather than anything involving "ditto" and suchlike.) |
