possibly archive "old" CHANGELOG.md entries (by year?) #5533
Description
CHANGELOG.md is huge. My local markdown viewer now locks up attempting to preview it. I think we should begin archiving it by year.

I also just lost a bunch of work to my editor freezing on the preview. 🔥

Maybe you have too much Atom in your life?

fwiw I think it'd be fine to archive it by year in the docs directory as long as each doc points to the next at the end.

Actually, splitting per year (and cross-linking them) looks like a much better idea than splitting per major version, so +1 from me on this one.
Fishrock123 commentedon Mar 2, 2016
I assume there will be a point where GitHub will also simply refuse to render it. :P

That's at 2 MiB, right? 😈
Anyways, +1 on archiving everything pre-4.0 to a file in
doc, possibly linking to it.ChALkeR commentedon Mar 3, 2016
@silverwind
That's by version. Could you clarify, is
2016-02-09, Version 0.12.10 (LTS)pre-4.0 or not? =)silverwind commentedon Mar 3, 2016
@ChALkeR Right, that's not going to work with LTS. By age is fine then.

Hmmm, this seems a little more tricky than I had anticipated. Is it possible that pre1.0.0 (i.e. in the 0.6-0.9 era) ordered the changelog by version number and not date? I see some out-of-order entries..
rvagg commentedon Mar 8, 2016
possible, I'd +1 a reordering if you want to do that

So it looks like our changelog has finally gotten over 1 MB and github is no longer allowing us to view it :sad:

Let's pull everything out older than a year into an archive file...
