'''Q: What is the purpose of changelogs? There are already available official changelogs!'''
 
  
A: Before 0.3.16; long, technical and rather boring-for-average-user changelogs are available. Things changed since 0.3.17, only bugfixes list from JIRA are available. Disappointing. Also, I think official announcements lack some interesting things.

Community Changelogs were created to reflect changes in each release of ReactOS since 0.4.1 release, because as of 0.3.16, only bug fixes are listed from JIRA. Logs are also written for end-users, without too much technical information.

Changelogs are written by the ReactOS Community as development progresses, with support from the developers. Logs are acknowledged by ReactOS Project and advertised.

Feel free to use and spread the logs, and please give our community the credit.
