ChangeLog files, which have not been updated since 2021, are no longer maintained. To declutter the source tree and improve file system operations like searching and refactoring, these files are moved from their original directories into a new top-level ‘archive’ directory. This change reduces noise for developers who use tools like git log for version history.
