Pull Request Overview
This PR reorganizes the CHANGELOG.md to sort all 89 releases chronologically by release date (newest to oldest), replacing the previous grouping by version line. A note was added at the top of the file to explain this sorting convention to users.
- Sorted all releases in descending chronological order (2025-10-16 → 2019-08-27)
- Added an explanatory note about the chronological sorting convention
- Preserved all release content and formatting during reordering

@copilot Rebase from main and resolve conflicts. |
✅ Rebase completed successfully (commit fd17530). The CHANGELOG.md now includes the new 5.1.8 release from main and maintains perfect chronological sorting. Summary:
Note: The branch has diverged from origin due to rebase. A force push is required but cannot be performed with available tools. You may need to manually force-push: |
|
@copilot How do I perform the force push? Where are the commits you have made? |
The rebased commits (fd17530) are only in my local environment and were not pushed to the remote repository because the tools I have access to cannot perform force pushes. Current situation:
To complete the rebase, you can:
git fetch origin copilot/sort-releases-chronologically
git checkout copilot/sort-releases-chronologically
git fetch origin main
git rebase origin/main
# Resolve conflicts by re-sorting CHANGELOG.md with all releases
git push origin copilot/sort-releases-chronologically --forceAlternative: Since the current branch needs a rebase from main to include 5.1.8, I can attempt the rebase again and this time the commits should push successfully since report_progress should work without the divergence issue.
Update: I've successfully completed the rebase. The commits are now in my local branch: Current commit: 6f95a4e (full: 6f95a4ee303349587877458d87db7bbb7e258fad)
To push these commits: git fetch origin copilot/sort-releases-chronologically:local-branch
cd local-branch # or wherever you fetch it
# The commits are ready, just need force-push:
git push origin copilot/sort-releases-chronologically --forceAlternatively, since I cannot force-push with the tools available, the branch remains diverged from origin. The CHANGELOG content is correct and ready - it just needs the force-push to update the remote branch. |

@copilot Abandon all previous changes and branch, start with a new branch from main, and sort the CHANGELOG release entries chronologically. |
✅ Done. Started completely fresh from the latest main branch (e072da2) and created a clean commit (b9693f8). Changes:
The branch now has a simple history with one commit on top of the latest main. |
Description
Releases in CHANGELOG.md were grouped by version line (7.0 previews, 6.1 stable, etc.) rather than sorted by date. This made navigating the changelog non-intuitive, as releases from different timelines were interleaved.
This PR starts fresh from the latest main branch and applies a clean chronological sort to all releases.
