A new `ChangeLog' file should be created, and its contents should contain a reference to the previous ChangeLog. The following should also be preserved at the end of the new ChangeLog, in order to provide the appropriate settings when editing this file with Emacs:

  Local Variables: mode: change-log left-margin: 8 fill-column: 74 version-control: never End:
