Add CHANGELOG.md file

[Deepak Dixit-5]

Hi Dev,

As we have already moved to git for the version control system, I propose
to add a changelog file to maintain the changelogs[1].
What is a changelog?

A changelog is a file which contains a curated, chronologically ordered
list of notable changes for each version of a project.
Why keep a changelog?

To make it easier for users and contributors to see precisely what notable
changes have been made between each release (or version) of the project.
Who needs a changelog?

People do. Whether consumers or developers, the end users of software are
human beings who care about what's in the software. When the software
changes, people want to know why and how.

We can have our own process to generate changelog, It may be either manual
entries, or some tool or using git log. We can discuss this independently.

Thanks & Regards

+1 for a CHANGELOG.md

Would this be maintained for all official release branches + trunk, right? Or official release branches only.

I believe it would be better done manually with a community consensus.

Could someone probes me wrong?
