 output message

Hi Shaopeng,

On my side this patch arrived as an unnumbered sixth patch forming
part of a five patch series.

This should not be part of the changelog but instead be below the "---".

Thank you very much for catching this. The fix looks good,
I only have nitpicks about the changelog.
