 We are keeping a changelog in the file `CHANGELOG.md`. Every pull request has to add a summary of what it's doing into that file.
 This description is meant as a high level overview of what has been changed, so it should be quick to read and in particular shouldn't be just a verbatim copy of all the commit messages. Another purpose of the changelog is to help with our process of releasing new versions: we'll have to check how severe the changes introduced since the last version are in order to come up with a sensible new version number.
