Bug description
The Changes file is currently over 8000 lines, with the first 700 lines devoted to working changes. Because this file is currently in just a text format, there is scrolling and/or text search required to see changes of even recently released versions.
By moving to a parsable format such as AsciiDoc or Markdown, editors which already have support for parsing such a format can outline and collapse the structure of this file.
Additionally, such a change can give the ocaml source code root directory a slightly more modern feel than a plain text file.
Additional information
The file is already parsable as a Markdown file, with the exception that there is a semantic distinction between a bulleted item beginning with "-" and a bulleted item beginning with "*" (Markdown treats these as equivalent).
The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
This issue has been open one year with no activity. Consequently, it is being marked with the "stale" label. What this means is that the issue will be automatically closed in 30 days unless more comments are added or the "stale" label is removed. Comments that provide new information on the issue are especially welcome: is it still reproducible? did it appear in other contexts? how critical is it? etc.
