changelog is too large to view

@heartacker That appears to be a limitation of the GitHub website. It's viewable in the extension's CHANGELOG section in VS Code, or view the markdown preview in VS Code. Or a version of it at https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-cpptools/releases . Or you can view the raw file on GitHub.

@heartacker GitHub might be experiencing some temporary server issue. I don't think the file should normally be taking a long time to render. See https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/66045 and the more recent thread https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/145497 .

I wouldn't be against trimming the file. I don't think anyone looks back that far anyway. If they wanted to, they could look at the git history. We could basically delete all the entries before 1.0.0, for example.

move old logs to new file with one link

or split with year

@heartacker #13686 removes changeling entries prior to 1.0 (although I wanted a link to an older changelog2.md as you and Copilot had suggested).
