We have quite a fucntionality to maintain the changelof in actual state
However, since we switched to release from the latest EAP, we can't just update the changelog on master because it will contains also unreleased changes since the latest EAP.
The proper support for such change will require a lot of coding that will take a lot of time to implement and will eventually break.
So, it was decided to keep the changelog on YouTrack only and not to maintain the changes file.
This change still may be reverted, so the code around the changelog is note removed, but only commented out
Because of some reason actions started on
https://github.com/JetBrains/ideavim/pull/731
pull request and updated it.
With this change, forks won't be affected by forked actions. If the action is still needed on fork, these conditions can be changes
