Yes, it is.

I prefer one by one.
At the moment, I make PEWIT according to the GNU Coding Standards, such as the
C coding style and file organizations. It is because I'm very used to the
standards and I think they are not bad. So I make the file ChangeLog, which
is a requirement of GNU.
But, as this project is not GNU, we have no obligation to follow all of the
standards. Thus let me know, if you think it is bad to keep maintaining
ChangeLog manually.
Personally I think having ChangeLog is a Good Thing, because it is difficult
to know what changes were made at a given date only by the CVS log command.
But I don't know if it should be manual or automatic.
