I don’t think a long changelog is a limitation - in many cases this may be the only place where details of new features are available and enthusiastic users will happily pick through the details of the changelog to find things that are interesting for them.

As Etienne mentioned we will get rid of this soon - hopefully in time for 3.2.

Thanks for all your contributions!
