do FreeBSD have change log? I have never seen it, I can see chang log on NetBSD and OpenBSD website, they did better than FreeBSD, my feeling of FreeBSD is it is a mystery work, we just don't know what is changed between old and new version, what problem is fixed, and if it is worthy to upgrade, all is mystery, some change log informations in RELEASE.TXT is not enough, it's too simple, hardly useful.
