A simple GUI utility for managing ChangeLogs for a number of projects.

Project Description

ChangeNav is a GUI application for managing ChangeLogs for software projects. Basically it allows you to add "Changes" and "Releases" to your log through a really simple interface. All the data is stored in a nicely formatted ChangeLog ready for distribution (ie. here is the changelog for ChangeNav http://mecca.bluesine.com/dl/changenav/ChangeLog that was generated using ChangeNav.

ChangeNav can handle any number of projects, has a customizable editor, and action items, all configurable through it's config file 'cnav.conf'. The file is very self explainatory.

ChangeNav is written in Python using PythonCard + wxPython for it's GUI. I wrote it because at our office we needed such a tool to manage changes in our app between releases.

For Windows users download the cnav-x.x.x-win32.zip for a prebuilt standalone version. It does not need you to download and install Python or any other libraries.

ChangeNav also has a nice command line interface.

Unix users must download the source and the appropriate libraries + python.

Here is the user interface. You choose your project, what you did and hit "Add Change". It add's the text automagically to the changelog (seen in the background) and voila.
