How about spliting changelog.md into separate files by 'major version' principle? Current 6723 lines and halfof megabyte of changelogs are not so good, i think. What do you say?

That would produce a lot of files. Also, what is meant by «major version» for older node versions that do not follow semver? We will get dozens of small files and would have to switch between them to actually find anything.

Are there any specific problems with the changelog being half of a megabyte long?

Okay i got it. At least older node versions (<0.12) could be separated, i think. IMHO anyway

Honestly, the changelog could probably even be split by 4.0.0 and everything else in a separate one since we're kind of starting a new version line.

@disharmonized Atm changelog is ordered by date. «older node versions (<0.12)» are still supported (well, 0.10 is), and a release in 0.10 line would go to the top of the changelog.

Once again: what's the actual profit in splitting the changelog? Are there any issues with it?

All right, you persuaded me. Just close it.
