All changes to the software that can be noticed from the users' perspective should have an entry in this file. Except very minor things that will not affect functionality, such as log message changes and minor GUI adjustments.
The format is based on Keep a Changelog.
Entries should have the imperative form, just like commit messages. Start each entry with words like add, fix, increase, force etc.. Not added, fixed, increased, forced etc.
