should changelogs be in chronological order



Should changelogs be in chronological order or should they be in version number order? Specifically I just noticed that libtiff4's changelog is out of chronological order[attached for reference]. It seems that the maintainer was maintaining two branches: an experimental branch[3.6.1-3->3.7.0-1->3.7.0-2], and an unstable/testing branch[3.6.1-3->3.6.1-4->3.6.1-5]. 3.7.1-1 would then be potentially descended from either branch. If it is from the experimental branch, then the ->3.6.1-4->3.6.1-5 entries aren't applicable and vice versa. Then again 'removing' them[the changelog entries] opens up a whole other can of worms[hence the post to devel]. More importantly, I don't think it is explicitly clear in the changelog whether or not CAN-2004-1183 and CAN-2004-1308 are fixed in 3.7.1-1[though implicitly I assume they are, but stranger things have happened].

  * Included libtiff.so file in libtiff3g-dev, dammit :( My eye hurts,
    a lot, but this was easy to fix, thank goodness :) (closes: #55814).
    This bugfix deserves to get into frozen because the bug cripples
    libtiff3g-dev, a lot.

 -- Josip Rodin <jrodin@jagor.srce.hr>  Fri, 21 Jan 2000 19:02:22 +0100

tiff (3.5.4-2) unstable; urgency=low

    and fixed dist/tiff.alpha, it didn't work.
  * Removed README file from libtiff3g binary package, useless.

    zlib/jpeg dirs not specified (they're in /usr/include, stupid :).

tiff (3.5.2-4) unstable; urgency=low

  * Castrated the rules file, to make it actually work on !(i386 m68k).
    Closes: #49316.

 -- Josip Rodin <jrodin@jagor.srce.hr>  Sat,  6 Nov 1999 13:22:54 +0100

  * Removed sparc from the libtiff3 arches list, as BenC advised.

 -- Josip Rodin <jrodin@jagor.srce.hr>  Fri, 29 Oct 1999 23:29:23 +0200

tiff (3.5.2-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Changed Architecture: line for libtiff3 from "any" to "i386 m68k sparc"
    as it is actually only built on those. Changed description a little bit.
  * Minor fixes to the rules file.

 -- Josip Rodin <jrodin@jagor.srce.hr>  Thu, 28 Oct 1999 14:00:02 +0200

tiff (3.5.2-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream version.
  * Renamed source package to just "tiff", like upstream tarball name.
  * New maintainer (thanks Guy!). Renewed packaging, with debhelper,
    using Joey's nifty multi2 example, with several adjustments.
  * Ditched libtiff3-altdev, nobody's using that and nobody should be
    using that. Packaging for it still exists, it's just commented out.
  * Uses doc-base for -dev docs now. Uncompressed HTML docs, 100kb space
    saved is pointless when you can't use any links between documents.
