As it is becoming hard to browse/navigate CHANGES.txt, how about

personally, i'm a fan of simple, plain text files for the
CHANGES.txt ... easy to edit, easy to read.
I don't know about easy to read (more than one page per section
makes it hard to know where you are), but easy to edit, sure.
(even better in my mind would be if we could keep editing in
plain text, and had some handy scripts to reformat into HTML
I was thinking the same thing, and I've done just that, stealing the
folding Javascript verbatim from Doron's original:

+1 Great job Steve!
I added in auto-linkification of JIRA and Bugzilla issues. IMHO,
working links to issues is the killer feature for an HTML version of
CHANGES.txt.
Here's the Perl script I wrote to produce the above:
<http://web.syr.edu/~sarowe/changes.txt.to.html.pl.txt>
If we choose this, can you donate it? I assume everyone knows how to
run perl... We probably should add a target to the build that takes
care of building the site and creating the HTML.
We probably need to have it add a license to the top, too.
