It's a rather long time since 2.4.18 came out (3 month). And the changelog gets bigger and bigger. Is this normal? What are the reasons for such an interval? Shouldn't there be shorter intervals (about once a month) so less changes get accumulated?

The IDE changes need to get a lot of testing indeed.
