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.

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.

That's by version. Could you clarify, is 2016-02-09, Version 0.12.10 (LTS) pre-4.0 or not? =)

@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..

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...

The unfortunate has happened, our CHANGELOG is now over 1 MB and cannot
be viewed on github. This commit breaks the CHANGELOG into two files
so that we can continue to show our changes rendered in the github UI.
