   This template is used to render the set of changes in the changelog page.
 
-  If this version of the spec is unstable, it expects to find a
-  "changelogs/<api>/newsfragments" directory containing all unreleased changes,
-  and renders them all.
+  It expects to find a directory "changelogs" containing a subdirectory for
+  each of the 5 APIs in the specification. Inside each of these directories
+  it expects to find newsfragments describing changes to that API.
 
-  Otherwise it expects to find a "changelog/releases" directory, under which
-  is one or more directories whose name is a patch number, like "0", "1", and so on.
-
-  It renders each of these subdirectories as a separate patch, including
-  a table containing basic info about that patch and the set of changes in it.
+  If the `version.status` setting in config.toml is anything other than
+  "unstable", then it also expects to find a "release.yaml" file in /changelogs,
+  which contains:
+  - `tag`: Git tag for this release
+  - `date`: date of this release
+  It then renders this info a table, before the list of changes.
