I don't think this is necessary. It would require someone to write a
Scintilla lexer for ChangeLog files. And as far as I know, there is no
common ChangeLog format, there is the Gnu ChangeLog format[1] but there
are many other formats for ChangeLogs out there.

As a workaround you can open a ChangeLog as a Makefile which would at
least highlight lines containing a ':'. Nick and me are doing this ;-).
Oh, the symbol list would list wrong symbols because it assumes the
file as a Makefile, please don't report this as a bug ;-).

Ok, maybe I'll add support for Windows batch files but I won't add it
exclusively to Windows(it's just easier to add it generally without
any #ifdef code for Windows and so the chances of new bugs are
lower ;-))

No. The code didn't changed for a long time. I didn't noticed this but
to be honest I use Geany on Windows(i.e. I use Windows at all) only for
testing new features in Geany and for creating Windows binaries.
Anyone else noticing this behaviour?
