Developer notes:
----------------

* Formatting commit messages:
* Correctly-formatted commit messages will be organized in CHANGELOG.rst
* Commit messages are formatted like this ``type: audience: message !tag``
* Type is for the type of change (``new``, ``chg``)
* Audience is for the audience of the commit note(``usr``,``test``,``doc``)
* The message part is pretty self-explanatory.
* The optional tag allows you to flag a commit for exclusion from CHANGELOG.rst.(``minor`` or ``wip``)
* A commit message like this: ``new: usr: Made a new widget.`` will appear in CHANGELOG.rst, under the appropriate release, under the "New" section.
* More info on message formatting: https://github.com/vaab/gitchangelog
* Updating CHANGELOG.rst:
* Install gitchangelog: ``pip3 install gitchangelog``
* Make sure that ``__version__`` is correct in ``kismet_rest/__init__.py``
* Build the new changelog: ``gitchangelog > CHANGELOG.rst``
