Primeng: Create CHANGELOG.md

Would be very beneficial. The current process for me is go to primefaces web site, click on forum, click on topic, go to blog to read what changed in a new version. That's a long way.

Here is the initial version, we'll add more info about breaking changes as well so it will be maintained/updated from now on.

Thanks, we will consider it after 4.1.

@cagataycivici version 4.3.0 has been released, still no change log in releases....

@Klinton90 Blog entry describes 8 important changes, while full changelog has 85 closed issues. I don't want to waste my time going through 85 issues. And I don't want to waste my time going to github -> web site -> forum -> topic -> blog

@cagataycivici Any progress on this? You've got a great library here, but understanding what has been changed/fixed/added between versions is _way_ more difficult than it should be. Can't whoever is writing the various blog posts and forum posts just update a CHANGELOG.md file as well? Or use a package like conventional-changelog to generate a CHANGELOG? Please consider addressing this. Thanks.

Totally agree, must be present

Currently looking at primeeng 4.2.2 upgrade to 5.2.4 no clue what has changed & where to look for that backwards incompatible change.

The lack of a CHANGELOG in this project is very frustrating! The only way I can figure out what changed is to go through the commit history, and even that is a pain as the commit messages only list Issue numbers.

The bizarre thing is that they post occasional version updates on their blog, which means someone is doing some level of tracking on what has changed. Why they've decided to post these to their blog (where few will see it) instead of updating a README is truly baffling.

With 5.2.7 release there's not even a blog post. Go figure...

Just updating today and once again realizing how absurd it is that there's no CHANGELOG, so once again I get to do manual version comparisons to try and determine what actually changed.

Could the PrimeNG folks please add a CHANGELOG? It'd be two years late, but better late than never.

Additionally they even add new features or breaking changes in bugfix releases. :disappointed:
