Strongly support! I often try to find this information out and so far don't have a good way to do it.But I don't know if we can do it in some automated way or just manually.

👍

I think to just agree to add the release date after each version would be great. 😄

Well, here's the dates:

tagdates.txt

Obtained using:

$ git log --tags --simplify-by-decoration --pretty="format:%ci %d"

Thanks @DuncanBetts!

Anybody up for a PR to apply those dates (only the date part, not the time) to the title sections of the CHANGELOG? Then we can adopt this practice from now on.

I'm thinking simply:

3.0.5.dev (unreleased)

3.0.4 (2016-11-09)

I second this proposal. I was not aware of the git command and it solved my issue. You could at least add the git command to the Changelog page. That way you wouldn't have to update the changelog in the future. But adding the dates would be more client friendly.
