Trim CHANGELOG.md to the active window and move older entries (4.0.3 through 8.0.4) into docs/changelog/; regenerate the Debian and Fedora package changelogs from the kept entries. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Changelog Archive 📚
Per-release archive files for CHANGELOG.md. The active changelog at the repository root keeps the most recent releases inline; once an entry rolls past the configured retention window, it lives here as its own file.
Audience 👥
Contributors who need the full version history past the active changelog window, and Sphinx readers following the navigation tree.
Filename Schema 📁
Every archive file is named <padded-semver>-<release-date>.md, where each numeric component of the semver is zero-padded to three digits and the date is the YYYY-MM-DD value parsed from the original entry's header.
Padded names sort lexicographically in the same order as the underlying versions, so a directory listing is already in chronological order.
Maintenance 🛠️
Archive files are produced and the index in CHANGELOG.md is rebuilt by the changelog archive CLI. Do NOT edit archive files by hand: the source of truth for new entries is CHANGELOG.md, and the CLI moves an entry here exactly once when it leaves the active window.
