Not really. Stuff worthy of going in the NEWS file is probably _too_
high-level for that purpose. Other than that, the ChangeLog's really are
the best record, and we try to make them pretty thorough.

But the choice of what constitutes an "important" change depends most of
all on the application using the code, so it's unlikely we'd find the right
balance for everyone. It can only be up to you to determine the
significance of the changes, and the consequent risk to your app involved;
which is why the ChangeLogs are there. For anything more than that... well
that's why we sell support :-).
