Strong disagreement about changelogs being unnecessary.

I always looked at this file while updating this dependency. As I'm not a contributor to this project I don't even have a ws checkout to run git log on.

You can compare it just as easy on github: 0.6.4...0.6.5. The history file does not have any significant value other than listing git commits which were in the release.

I disagree; a well-written changelog communicates just what you need to know when considering updating your dependencies. Full git log on the other hand contains a lot of unnecessary details.

Consider that not every commit needs to go on the changelog.
