281 ** ChangeLog issues
282
283 *** When you fix a bug, it can be helpful to put the bug number in the
284 ChangeLog entry, for example:
285
286 * foo.el (foofunc): Fix the `foo' case. (Bug#123)
287
288 Then the relevant bug can be found for easy reference. If it's an
289 obvious fix (e.g. a typo), there's no need to clutter the log with the
290 bug number.
291
292 Similarly, when you close a bug, it can be helpful to include the
293 relevant ChangeLog entry in the message to the bug tracker, so people
294 can see eaxctly what the fix was.

296 *** bug-reference-mode
297
298 Activate `bug-reference-mode' in ChangeLogs to get clickable links to
299 the bug web-pages.
