------------------------------------------------------------
IBus 1.3.99.20110419-18.fc15 was built (https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/ibus-1.3.99.20110419-18.fc15?_csrf_token=853b69f2c5c9a56b8406bba163925d4e6ef8e67d) so the changelog entry should not have been removed/modified.

It's almost impossible to track down when bugs were introduced to IBus since the changelog does not show the real history of the package.

Comment 1 fujiwara 2011-09-05 01:29:45 UTC
The change just bumped the version.
I don't think this is a serious problem.

Comment 2 Jens Petersen 2011-09-07 08:24:35 UTC
I agree with Harshula and would like to see the full changelog entries
restored in future builds.  It is indeed very hard to know what has
changed in each build when the last changelog is just editted.

Comment 3 Akira TAGOH 2012-06-06 08:40:40 UTC
Well, I basically agree with it though, what the purpose are we keeping this open? and what's the corresponding "fix" on this ATM?

The BZ was opened to ensure the Fedora guidelines are followed. You would have to ask Fujiwara the status.
