v2 CHANGELOG.rst fails to render on github.com

[willhughes-au]

Describe the bug

When accessing the AWS CLI v2 CHANGELOG.rst - Github fails to render the page.
I believe this is because the file has grown over some limits from github.

Expected Behavior

https://github.com/aws/aws-cli/blob/v2/CHANGELOG.rst should render correctly.

Current Behavior

Returns a Github Unicorn error after some period of time.

This page is taking too long to load.

Sorry about that. Please try refreshing and contact us if the problem persists.

Reproduction Steps

Try to navigate to CHANGELOG.rst on Github. Direct link or the file browser (when v2 branch selected).

Possible Solution

Trim the file - move older entries to another file.

Additional Information/Context

No response

CLI version used

n/a

Sorry if this isn't the right way to report a bug with the repo itself.

Thanks @willhughes-au for creating the issue. It's something that occurred recently since the CHANGELOG.rst exceeded a certain size. The team is aware of this and currently looking into solutions for addressing it.

[tim-finnigan]

As a temporary workaround, you could either add "?plain=1" to the end like this: https://github.com/aws/aws-cli/blob/v2/CHANGELOG.rst?plain=1 or use this link to the raw file: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aws/aws-cli/v2/CHANGELOG.rst.

This should be resolved as of today's release of the CLI v2 (2.16.6). The CHANGELOG.rst for v2 now only contains entries for CLI v2.0.0 and later, this reduced the size of the file by ~50%. If you still need access to CLI v1 changelog information, it's still available here.
