makepkg --source does not add ChangeLog to tar.gz

When creating a src.tar.gz with "makepkg --source" the file created does not contains the ChangeLog file that was in the directory.
This issue only happens with pacman.3.4.0-2.
When I use pacman-3.3.3-5, makepakg --source work as expected.
Is that a bug?

Re: makepkg --source does not add ChangeLog to tar.gz

It's not a bug, it's a feature.

- changelogs are now included via the "changelog" variable

changelog
           Specifies a changelog file that is to be included in the package. This file should reside in the same directory as the PKGBUILD, and will be copied into the package
           by makepkg. It does not need to be included in the source array (e.g.  changelog=$pkgname.changelog)
