The issue are not separate anymore. The change is already done. Now if all

I am +1 on this change, as previously stated.
There are two topics here:
a. Where our changelog information is kept
b. How we populate our changelog
Dirkjan is taking positive steps towards (a), which is perfectly fine.
We've been wanting to do this for a long time.
We never resolved (b), and I welcome further discussion on it. But (a) is
not blocked by it.
Let's try to keep these issues separate. Thanks!

I am +1 on this change, as previously stated.
There are two topics here:
a. Where our changelog information is kept
b. How we populate our changelog
Dirkjan is taking positive steps towards (a), which is perfectly fine.
We've been wanting to do this for a long time.
We never resolved (b), and I welcome further discussion on it. But (a) is
not blocked by it.
Let's try to keep these issues separate. Thanks!

I like the fresh air of not having these :)
What are the concrete problems caused by this change for the 1.4.
release process other than making sure we convey the desired
information with other means.

Okay, sorry for rushing that a bit.
I wasn't clear on the timeline for Robert's email about retracting the
point for 1.4. From reading the messages again, I don't really
understand why we'd want to keep NEWS and CHANGES around. For me as a
RM, keeping three places in sync is just a stupid chore, and I'd
prefer not to deal with it. If people feel strongly about it, I'll
happily re-add NEWS and/or CHANGES with contents populated based on
what we accumulate in the docs.
Cheers,
Dirkjan

I'm not sure what prompted the urgency of this change but the vote was
aborted until we find a way to generate the new changelog correctly and
keep the old one.
Note that I quite like to have the changes available on the doc (though it
could be duplicated to the root too), so not sure now that it's done what
should be done.

-
-Version 1.2.2
--------------
-
-HTTP Interface:

-Version 1.2.0
--------------
-
-Authentication:
-
- * Fix use of OAuth with VHosts and URL rewriting.
- * OAuth secrets can now be stored in the users system database
- as an alternative to key value pairs in the .ini configuration.
- By default this is disabled (secrets are stored in the .ini)
- but can be enabled via the .ini configuration key `use_users_db`
- in the `couch_httpd_oauth` section.
- * Documents in the _users database are no longer publicly
- readable.
- * Confidential information in the _replication database is no
- longer publicly readable.
- * Password hashes are now calculated by CouchDB. Clients are no
- longer required to do this manually.
- * Cookies used for authentication can be made persistent by enabling
- the .ini configuration key `allow_persistent_cookies' in the
- `couch_httpd_auth` section.
-
-Build System:
-
- * cURL is no longer required to build CouchDB as it is only
- used by the command line JS test runner. If cURL is available
- when building CouchJS you can enable the HTTP bindings by
- passing -H on the command line.
- * Temporarily made `make check` pass with R15B. A more thorough
- fix is in the works (COUCHDB-1424).
- * Fixed --with-js-include and --with-js-lib options.
- * Added --with-js-lib-name option.
-
-HTTP Interface:
-
- * Added a native JSON parser.
- * The _active_tasks API now offers more granular fields. Each
- task type is now able to expose different properties.
- * Added built-in changes feed filter `_view`.
- * Fixes to the `_changes` feed heartbeat option which caused
- heartbeats to be missed when used with a filter. This caused
- timeouts of continuous pull replications with a filter.
- * Properly restart the SSL socket on configuration changes.
-
-Replicator:
-
- * A new replicator implementation. It offers more performance and
- configuration options.
- * Passing non-string values to query_params is now a 400 bad
- request. This is to reduce the surprise that all parameters
- are converted to strings internally.
- * Added optional field `since_seq` to replication objects/documents.
- It allows to bootstrap a replication from a specific source sequence
- number.
- * Simpler replication cancellation. In addition to the current method,
- replications can now be canceled by specifying the replication ID
- instead of the original replication object/document.
-
-Storage System:
-
- * Added optional database and view index file compression (using Google's
- snappy or zlib's deflate). This feature is enabled by default, but it
- can be disabled by adapting local.ini accordingly. The on-disk format
- is upgraded on compaction and new DB/view creation to support this.
- * Several performance improvements, most notably regarding database writes
- and view indexing.
- * Computation of the size of the latest MVCC snapshot data and all its
- supporting metadata, both for database and view index files. This
- information is exposed as the `data_size` attribute in the database and
- view group information URIs.
- * The size of the buffers used for database and view compaction is now
- configurable.
- * Added support for automatic database and view compaction. This feature
- is disabled by default, but it can be enabled via the .ini configuration.

-OAuth:
-
- * Updated bundled erlang_oauth library to the latest version.
-
-Futon:
-
- * The `Status` screen (active tasks) now displays two new task status
- fields: `Started on` and `Updated on`.
- * Futon remembers view code every time it is saved, allowing to save an
- edit that amounts to a revert.
-
-Log System:
-
- * Log correct stacktrace in all cases.
- * Improvements to log messages for file-related errors.

- * Updated `sudo` example in `README` to use the `-i` option, this fixes
- problems when invoking from a directory the `couchdb` user cannot access.
-
-Futon:
-

-
-Database Core:
-
- * The view engine has been completely decoupled from the storage engine. Index
- data is now stored in separate files, and the format of the main database
- file has changed.
- * Databases can now be compacted to reclaim space used for deleted documents
- and old document revisions.
- * Support for incremental map/reduce views has been added.
- * To support map/reduce, the structure of design documents has changed. View
- values are now JSON objects containing at least a `map` member, and
- optionally a `reduce` member.
- * View servers are now identified by name (for example `javascript`) instead of
- by media type.
- * Automatically generated document IDs are now based on proper UUID generation
- using the crypto module.
- * The field `content-type` in the JSON representation of attachments has been
- renamed to `content_type` (underscore).
-
-HTTP Interface:
-
- * CouchDB now uses MochiWeb instead of inets for the HTTP server
- implementation. Among other things, this means that the extra configuration
- files needed for inets (such as `couch_httpd.conf`) are no longer used.
- * The HTTP interface now completely supports the `HEAD` method. (COUCHDB-3)
- * Improved compliance of `Etag` handling with the HTTP specification.
- (COUCHDB-13)
- * Etags are no longer included in responses to document `GET` requests that
- include query string parameters causing the JSON response to change without
- the revision or the URI having changed.
- * The bulk document update API has changed slightly on both the request and the
- response side. In addition, bulk updates are now atomic.
- * CouchDB now uses `TCP_NODELAY` to fix performance problems with persistent
- connections on some platforms due to nagling.
- * Including a `?descending=false` query string parameter in requests to views
- no longer raises an error.
- * Requests to unknown top-level reserved URLs (anything with a leading
- underscore) now return a `unknown_private_path` error instead of the
- confusing `illegal_database_name`.
- * The Temporary view handling now expects a JSON request body, where the JSON
- is an object with at least a `map` member, and optional `reduce` and
- `language` members.
- * Temporary views no longer determine the view server based on the Content-Type
- header of the `POST` request, but rather by looking for a `language` member
- in the JSON body of the request.
- * The status code of responses to `DELETE` requests is now 200 to reflect that
- that the deletion is performed synchronously.
-
-JavaScript View Server:
-
- * SpiderMonkey is no longer included with CouchDB, but rather treated as a
- normal external dependency. A simple C program (`_couchjs`) is provided that
- links against an existing SpiderMonkey installation and uses the interpreter
- embedding API.
- * View functions using the default JavaScript view server can now do logging
- using the global `log(message)` function. Log messages are directed into the
- CouchDB log at `INFO` level. (COUCHDB-59)
- * The global `map(key, value)` function made available to view code has been
- renamed to `emit(key, value)`.
- * Fixed handling of exceptions raised by view functions.
-
-Build and System Integration:
-
- * CouchDB can automatically respawn following a server crash.
- * Database server no longer refuses to start with a stale PID file.
- * System logrotate configuration provided.
- * Improved handling of ICU shared libraries.
- * The `couchdb` script now automatically enables SMP support in Erlang.
- * The `couchdb` and `couchjs` scripts have been improved for portability.
- * The build and system integration have been improved for portability.
-
-Futon:
-
- * When adding a field to a document, Futon now just adds a field with an
- autogenerated name instead of prompting for the name with a dialog. The name
- is automatically put into edit mode so that it can be changed immediately.
- * Fields are now sorted alphabetically by name when a document is displayed.
- * Futon can be used to create and update permanent views.
- * The maximum number of rows to display per page on the database page can now
- be adjusted.
- * Futon now uses the XMLHTTPRequest API asynchronously to communicate with the
- CouchDB HTTP server, so that most operations no longer block the browser.
- * View results sorting can now be switched between ascending and descending by
- clicking on the `Key` column header.
- * Fixed a bug where documents that contained a `@` character could not be
- viewed. (COUCHDB-12)
- * The database page now provides a `Compact` button to trigger database
- compaction. (COUCHDB-38)
- * Fixed portential double encoding of document IDs and other URI segments in
- many instances. (COUCHDB-39)
- * Improved display of attachments.
- * The JavaScript Shell has been removed due to unresolved licensing issues.
