After looking at it: The old ChangeLog file has been kept and now 
(before releases), the recent changes since the last release are put in 
front.

I also though that the whole file comes from git history (which imported 
SVN history (which (did it?) imported CVS history)).

So IMHO we have to stay with the current situation - given these facts, 
I'm totally fine with it.

Kind regards
Steffen
