Version 1.0 was released introducing: a much cleaner website presenting the guidelines in a more digestible way; 13 new translations; a semi-decent versioning system to help synchronize translations; and a lot of clarifications and updates based on feedback and conversations that occur regularly within the project issues: https://github.com/olivierlacan/keep-a-changelog/issues.
I know trying to get ahead of the torrent of critical comments is pointless but let me summarize: yes, I know you think changelogs have been defined before. But you know just as much as I do that most changelogs (or whatever you decide to call them in protest) are terrible and not as helpful to software end-users as they should be.
There's been a lot of progress in the past 3 years alone in that regard. It's nearly unthinkable for an open source project to not include a decent changelog for each release. That's good. There are still a lot of smaller, less known, or older projects that could be improved with some basic changelog hygiene. If you're interesting in helping, please do, and if keepchangelog.com can help I'll be glad.
