[hibernate-dev] Changelog file in Hibernate ORM

[Steve Ebersole]

I'd vote for continuing to maintain it as well.  But I wonder if we 
ought to start truncating the back side of it.  10+ years is an awful 
lot of release/fix history and I doubt anyone seriously cares about 
about more that 5 years back (or less).  Or maybe partitioned changelog 
files (1.0 versus 2.0 versus 3.0 versus...)
