Server Test Series - Change Log - Split into manageable pieces

No one had complained yet, but the Server Test Series Change Log (link 
below) had grown to 115 KiB and I am sure that this was annoying to some 
people on less-than-fast links.

http://xfree86.cygwin.com/devel/shadow/changelog.html


The Change Log has now been split into chunks with no more than 25 
release per file.

I added a set of links to each of the pages, right about where the 
entries start, that allows you to move between the different pages:

View: Current Full Test100+ Test99-Test75 Test74-Test50 Test49-Test25 
Test24-Test01


What the links do
=================
Current - Shows whatever the current set of changes is (Test100+ in this 
case).

Full - Shows all changes.

TestXXX-YYY - Shows all changes between YYY and XXX.


How it works
============
I have 5 files on the server that contain the change log entries: 
entries-100.html, entries-075.html, etc.  Each of the changelog-XXX.html 
files just includes entries-XXX.html.  The full changelog, 
changelog-full.html, includes all of the entries-*.html files and the 
changelog.html file just includes whatever the most recent 
entries-*.html file is.


Does it help?
=============
I would like some feedback on whether this was a waste of time or 
whether some people actually benefited from it.
