 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
-Currently only changes to the client-server API need to end up in a changelog. The

-changelog can only be done after you've opened your pull request, so be sure to do

 The changelog is managed by Towncrier (https://github.com/hawkowl/towncrier) in the
 form of "news fragments". The news fragments for the client-server API are stored
