Please provide regular changelog with released tarballs

Issue #323 resolved
Sergey Kirpichev created an issue

It's nice to have webpage, yes. But most (all?) mature projects keep also in-tree changelog (like CHANGES before 5.9, I think).

It should be possible to use a single file (i.e. formatted as rst or in markdown) both for release tarballs and your webpage.

    We still maintain the CHANGES file as a work-log, but it is not distributed. Instead we use https://mmonit.com/monit/changes/ as a curated, grammar checked and more elaborate change-log. If you absolutely need the change-log in raw format (not recommended) you can get it from the repository.

    Yes, I see. But my question wasn't answered: why you couldn't provide this file with the release? Is this file can't be checked for misspellings?

    not recommended

    By who? For example, almost every distribution (e.g. Debian) recommends exactly opposite: provide upstream changelogs (e.g. in /usr/share/doc/package/ dir). FSF recommends ChangeLog as well.
