Yes, please use the format

        * file-name (function): What changed.
        (other-function-in-same-file): What changed.
        * another-file (function): What changed.

When you explain what changed, please don't say something like "fixed
bug" or "added new feature".  That's not very helpful to someone
reading the log later, as nearly every change fixes a bug or adds a
new feature...

Also, there is usually no need to explain why changes were made.  If
that is important, put it in a comment in the code.

Thanks,
