I know it gets run together as `CHANGELOG.md` to match `README.md`. That doesn't make it a word. Does it? If we can change `master` branch to `main`, surely we can use `CHANGE_LOG` AND `READ_ME`?
I'm curious which dictionaries treat it as a single word? As of 2022-06-15, it's not in Websters: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/changelog
Not in Dictionary.com: https://www.dictionary.com/misspelling?term=changelog
Not in the Cambridge dictionary: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/spellcheck/english/?q=changelog
Not in the Britannica dictionary: https://www.britannica.com/dictionary/eb/spelling/changelog
Not in the MacMillan dictionary: https://www.macmillandictionary.com/us/spellcheck/american/?q=changelog
Change Log made it to the OED as a two-word subentry in 2017: https://public.oed.com/updates/new-words-list-june-2017/
