> A changelog is a raw, engineering driven manifest of everything that has changed. This log sometimes needs more context. Okay the wizbang had a hoozit added, what the hell does this mean and why do I care? Or it needs less and a lot of the engineer rambling needs to be stripped out.

With that definition it literally is just the git log though isn't it, which was GP's point?

I know you're writing in agreement, but it sounds like your changelog is an intermediary step, and I don't understand why it's needed? To fill in the gaps from lazy commit messages?
