Add the 0.4.x changes to the trunk change log and list the stuff changed

in trunk so far as well. This does not mean that 0.5 is just around the
corner - it's not. 
It's just that I occasionally feel like we're not making any progress. 
Looking at the (pretty extensive) list, this is not the case. :)
