How to search Sublime Text changelog?

Question

I opened the Sublime Text changelog (Help / Changelog). How do I search it now?

I think it's bizarre Sublime Text opens the changelog in a new window, rather than the text editor.

Answer 1

This does not seem possible. Alternatively, you can view (and search) the changelog on their site:

• Sublime Text 2: https://www.sublimetext.com/2
• Sublime Text 3: https://www.sublimetext.com/3

Answer 2

There actually is a way to search/view the changelog locally. In your Sublime Text installation folder, there is a file named changelog.txt. In ST2, and ST3 builds up to 3065, this is just a plain text file. However, if you're using the latest ST3 public beta (Build 3083), or the ST3 dev builds (you must be a registered user to use them), the file is actually in HTML format. Rename it to changelog.html and open it in your web browser to view.
