For 1) - I think this could be easily accomplished by creating an XML  
(or equivalent) file that is stored in a release that contains the  
framework packages/versions that are a part of that release.  In any  
case, I think this is mandatory anyway - for any application other  
than horde, there needs to be a way to tell a user when installing  
that package both the framework packages needed to install and the  
minimum version of those packages needed for that release.

For applications, I don't know if we want to expend the energy to  
determine the exact list of horde framework libraries needed for that  
particular application or if we are simply going to require that all  
framework libraries are needed for all applications.  But I still  
think we need to provide the framework version information within any  
given application release to allow an upgrade script to update only  
the framework libraries needed to ensure that the application is going  
to work.

For 2) - I was picturing a changelog more like this (to provide the  
necessary context):

v4.0.1
======

[mms] Horde change blah.
[mms] Horde change 2 blah.

horde/Auth
----------
* Change

horde/Core
----------
* Change 1
* Change 2

v4.0
