Description Alexander Nyßen

2016-07-27 03:03:02 EDT

As the project repos are now hosted at Github and we are migrating our documentation from the eclipse wiki to the github project wiki, we should consider to create a CHANGELOG.md file from our new and noteworthy documents, so these information is directly accessible from the repo.

In addition we could have formatted git tag comments that refer to the respective changelog entries, if this is supported.

I have created a GEF changelog and migrated all information from the New and Noteworthy wiki pages. 

What remains is creation of a similar document for GEF-Legacy.

I created a CHANGELOG.md for GEF-Legacy and transferred the contents from the "New & Noteworthy" pages of the Eclipse Wiki (and designated web pages for 3.5.0 and 3.0.0) to the CHANGELOG. In alignment with the GEF CHANGELOG.md, only GEF-Legacy related changes are listed in GEF-Legacy's CHANGELOG.md. The changes w.r.t. GEF4 are already listed in GEF's CHANGELOG.md.

The code is published on the master branch. Therefore, I resolve this ticket as fixed for 5.0.0 RC4.
