At the top is what I've always seen done. Means all you have to do to see the |
| 8 |
most recent changes is simply open the file and start to read. No scrolling to |
| 9 |
the end and all. That'd be nasty with glibc, which has 16-17 changelog files |
| 10 |
documenting the history of that behemoth to the time before the stars themselves |
| 11 |
were given shape and form. |

Granted, simply finding the highest-numbered changelog file, opening it, and |
| 14 |
scrolling to the very bottom takes just a hair more effort than just opening |
| 15 |
"Changelog" and reading from the top, but at that level, it's a convenience debate. |
