Hey peeps,
for many many people, as for me as well, a changelog is a very important thing; it is all about justifying to your users why they should upgrade to the latest version of a plugin.
The plugin Changelogger shows the latest changelog right on the plugin listing page, whenever there's a plugin ready to be updated.
To the plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/changelogger/
Here's a screenshot of what the plugin's doing: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/changelogger/screenshots/
Hope it's a helpful improvement for those using and updating plugins. :-)

Oliver, I was just about to write this plugin myself and you saved me the job!
Great work. Works really well. Hopefully changelogs in readme files will become commonplace over time.
John.

Thanks John. Glad to hear you find it helpful. :)
Now this is one useful plugin. Maybe it's me, but the rate of update of the plugins I'm using seems to have accelerated recently, and I get tired of searching for the changelog to see whether I really need to update my 40 odd blogs! As John says "Hopefully changelogs in readme files will become commonplace over time."
Good one, Oliver!
