I agree that making a link to the Changes file easy to find would be a
good idea, whether it is done by adding one sentence to the release
announcement, or at least adding it to the SpamAssassin home page or to
the download page.

http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/spamassassin/branches/3.1/Changes is a
better URL, as it will continue to work until we release 3.2.

I propose that starting with the 3.1.7 release we add that link to the
downloads page on http://spamassassin.apache.org/downloads.cgi

Each release starts with a change such as "3.1.6 devel cycle started"
and ends with "preparing to release 3.1.6". The "preparing to release
3.1.7" hasn't been checked in yet because it has not been released.
