[Nagiosplug-devel] release of 1.3.1

[Voon, Ton]

Some of my comments are not worth putting into a Changelog. For instance, I
keep doing typos which I don't realise until after a commit. Can I suggest
something like prefixing at the beginning of a comment:

- "-" for deletion from the Changelog
- "*" to signify an important amendment, worthy of a short "features for
this release" narrative

You could use a perl script to pull these out of the Changelog after it is
generated.
