But how is this changelog produced? Looking at the "fixed in" field on the bug entry?

My question is: when a bug is fixed on 1.3.X and it is then backported to 1.3.3.Y, what will the "fixed in" field say about it?

If it says 1.3.X we will miss it in the changelog for 1.3.3.Y isn't it?

Best regards
Gustavo
