How do you create change logs for your projects?

I am using subversion as an RCS and Bugzilla for issue tracking. And i just ask myself how to create automatic change logs for the users?

I already tried the "svn2cl" tool. But the change logs it creates are to technical for me (e.g. no user want's to know that developer XY changed 20 files yesterday to fix a memory leak). A user wants a change log which contains something like this:

Version 1.0
- Added feature 1

Version 1.1
- fixed bug #4711
- added feature 2
...

Does anybody know a tool, addon or script to create change logs from my bugzilla entries? Or is there an good way to do this? I know trac supports the creation of change logs, but i don't like trac very much.

Update Wrote my own little tool for this job. You can get it at ChangelogGenerator.

Solution

  • There is a sourceforge project called Bugzilla Changelog which generate this log as HTML or Wiki - text.
