[ruby-core:82223] [Ruby trunk Misc#13704][Assigned] [PATCH] Exclude Changelog files from documentation.

Issue #13704 has been updated by hsbt (Hiroshi SHIBATA).

Status changed from Open to Assigned
Assignee set to hsbt (Hiroshi SHIBATA)

I'm not sure that html page of Changelog is not valuable.

Example, permalink of changelog: https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/2.4.0/ChangeLog-2_4_0.html#label-2016-11-07

I'm going to discuss this issue at next Developer Meeting.

The changelogs are almost 7 MBytes large, so that the ri or rdoc output is even bigger. Therefore the changelogs take almost half of the size of the entire output. However the changelog is not really valuable as part of ri or rdoc, IMHO. It may also slows down searches in rdoc.
