Background is that we try to track new releases of manually installed software on our servers using a nagios check script. This script parses the changelog files with a regular expression and searches the projects download pages for new releases.
You've got version number also in index.php and iniset.php files.
I know :)
But from my experiences changelog usually is the best place to track current version number. Developers (not you) often forget to update version numbers in code files. Do you have a reason for not adding the current version number to the changelog? IMHO least it's a rather exceptional practice in open source projects, isn't it?
I've wondered about that for some time too.
Normally, i would expect that Changelog entries without any release header are under development.
I'd second to add a RELEASE line to the changelog upon release.
