What's your exact problem with this file? Do you really need to get 500k
freed? Do you regularly read the file and are distracted by older entries?

IMHO, this is not a problem at all.


If there's a consensus to shorten the file, we could handle it the way
e.g. apache does:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/httpd/httpd/trunk/CHANGES?revision=790587




Example for 4-2:

At the bottom of the file:
Changes with TYPO3 4-1:
