I like this idea as it provides more insight to JOSM development for
casual users.  Furthermore, I always like to read a list of new features
of any product.

For this reason, I've created a wiki page:
http://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Changelog  For the most recent stable
release, I went through the commit messages and put together a list of
(in my opinion) interesting changes.  Note that the classification is
subjective, and feel free to add/remove/move any item.

Cheers,
Simon

PS: Do we really have so little major enhancements? :-)
