+## Changelog entries
+
+We experiment with using [changelog-d tool](https://github.com/phadej/changelog-d) to assemble changelogs.
+You are not required to install it.
+
+In each PR please add a file to `changelog.d` directory named after issue you are solving or the pull request itself (in a separate commit after you know the pull request number). For example
+
+```cabal
+synopsis: One sentence summary of the change.
+prs: #1219
+issues: #1028
+
+description: {
+
+A longer description. Small changes don't need this.
+Bigger ones definitely do, for example we try to include migration hints
+for breaking changes.
+
+However if you don't know what to write, that's ok too.
+
+By the way, the braces around are omitted when the file is parsed.
+They can be used so the field doesn't need to be indented, which is handy
+for prose.
+
+}
