[Gambas-user] Switching to GitLab

[Jussi Lahtinen]

How do you get the change log with git? "git log" shows only one change
(most recent?).
Is this because I cloned the sources with "git clone --depth=1
https://gitlab.com/gambas/gambas.git"?

Even when I want only the latest dev version, I would still like to know
what has changed. It's quite important if you do bug hunting.
