This file is used by the maven-changes-plugin to generate the release notes.
Useful ways of finding items to add to this file are:
1. Add items when you fix a bug or add a feature (this makes the
release process easy :-).
2. Do a bugzilla search for tickets closed since the previous release.
3. Use the report generated by the maven-changelog-plugin to see all
CVS commits. Set the project.properties' maven.changelog.range
property to the number of days since the last release.
The <action> type attribute can be add,update,fix,remove.
