To create a changelog entry, make a new file in the ``changelog.d``
file named in the format of ``PRnumber.type``. The type can be
one of ``feature``, ``bugfix``, ``removal`` (also used for
deprecations), or ``misc`` (for internal-only changes). The content of
the file is your changelog entry, which can contain Markdown
formatting. Adding credits to the changelog is encouraged, we value

For example, a fix in PR #1234 would have its changelog entry in
``changelog.d/1234.bugfix``, and contain content like "The security levels of

Debian changelog
----------------
Changes which affect the debian packaging files (in ``debian``) are an
exception.
In this case, you will need to add an entry to the debian changelog for the
next release. For this, run the following command::
dch
This will make up a new version number (if there isn't already an unreleased
version in flight), and open an editor where you can add a new changelog entry.
(Our release process will ensure that the version number and maintainer name is
corrected for the release.)
If your change affects both the debian packaging *and* files outside the debian
directory, you will need both a regular newsfragment *and* an entry in the
debian changelog. (Though typically such changes should be submitted as two
separate pull requests.)
