Issue Event Changelog Can Now Be Null

In JIRA 3.5.2, the IssueEvent object thrown as a result of an edit operation, may now return null from a getChangeLog() call. The case where this happens is when a user chooses to edit an issue but only leaves a comment and makes no other changes to the issue. Prior to 3.5.2 no event was fired in this case and this was identified as a bug (JRA-9415) and has since been fixed. Check any calls to getChangeLog() for null.
