I think we've discussed this in the past and my position is quite simple. A single changelog file is much better, even across concurrently maintained branches (e.g. Rails' `4-2-stable` and `3-2-stable` branches where it's tricky to keep track of things that are backported) because it doesn't put the onus on the end-user to hunt for the right branch.\r\n\r\nIn my mind, any version released prior to the current state of the changelog (in terms of git commits) should be documented in `CHANGELOG.md`. And since it's an extremely lightweight text file, it should contain changes for every possible version as far back as the very first one. "}}
