Description

Reordered all 92 release entries in CHANGELOG.md from newest (2025-11-15) to oldest (2019-08-27). Previously, entries were inconsistently ordered with newer releases appearing after older ones.

Changes:

  • Sorted release sections by date in descending order
  • Added clarifying note at top: "Releases are sorted in reverse chronological order (newest first)"
  • Preserved all content and formatting within each release section

Before: Mixed ordering (e.g., 6.1.3 from 2025-11-12 appeared after 7.0.0-preview1 from 2025-09-12)

After: Consistent descending date order (6.0.4 from 2025-11-15 at top, 1.0.19239.1 from 2019-08-27 at bottom)

Issues

Resolves the requirement to organize CHANGELOG.md in a chronologically consistent manner for improved readability.

Testing

Automated verification:

  • Date order validation confirms all 92 releases are in descending chronological sequence
  • Content integrity verified through diff analysis (398 insertions, 395 deletions - line reordering only)

Manual verification:

  • Spot-checked header note insertion
  • Verified newest release (6.0.4) at top
  • Verified oldest release (1.0.19239.1) at bottom
  • Confirmed release section content unchanged

Guidelines

  • Reviewed contribution guidelines
  • Changes preserve all existing content
  • Documentation-only change requires no code tests
Original prompt

Resort all release entries in the CHANGELOG.md file (https://github.com/dotnet/SqlClient/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md) so that release sections appear in reverse chronological order (newest release/date at the top, oldest at the bottom). Do not alter the text within each release entry. Add a clear note at the top indicating that releases are sorted newest to oldest. Preserve the changelog formatting. Commit the changes to a new branch and open a pull request on dotnet/SqlClient.
