What happened to /etc/logrotate.d/crond?

It seems that a recent upgrade removed /etc/logrotate.d/crond and saved a /etc/logrotate.d/crond.pacsave file.

What happened to the original crond file -- is it no longer used? Also, is there a tool or feature provided by pacman that could help me determine the reason for changes like this in the future, maybe something that allows me to find and read release notes?

I tried searching around the forums but found nothing. Thanks in advance for the help.

Re: What happened to /etc/logrotate.d/crond?

cron's logging is now handled by syslog-ng, so this file has been merged into /etc/logrotate.d/syslog-ng. Note also that the logfile name has changed from cron.log to crond.log.

This happened months ago. It was talked about at the time, mostly on arch-dev-public and in the bugtracker.
