Hi Kim,

short answer: no.

Longer answer:

There's no direct support for changelogs in Qt Creator for Sailfish 
projects. You can manually add changelogs to RPMs by appending a 
%changelog section to the end of your package's spec file using the 
normal changelog format:

If you use a yaml file to create the spec file, the conversion will 
remove the %changelog section you have added to the spec unless you put 
it between some of the comment sections in spec known to specify (the 
yaml converter utility).

For example, add this to the end of your spec file:

# << files
%changelog
* Thu Apr 10 2014 John Doe <foobar at example.com> 1.0.0
- some more comments

* Wed Apr 09 2014 John Doe <foobar at example.com> 0.9
- some comments

# >> files

Since there's no support for this, you will need to make sure the 
version number matches your package version.

Best regards,
  Juha
