I would like to point that the current readme misses a lot of old builds, where on older builds readme some builds that are not in the main one are listed there.
Also why not make two readmes? one with docs and the other with changelog, in that way it will be simpler for the people who just want the docs (isn't annoying to have to scroll down a lot to just find the docs?)
What you guys think?

I kind of agree with that one...

I agree with both, having a complete list of changes may help to determine a start point of some existing and future issues, don't even know why they were removed...

Some "minor" versions were removed, merely tests (?)
it's a hassle to check old versions readme to just discover an specific version changes that didnt show in the main changelog
edit: damnit i've typed this way too fast

Which builds are missing, specifically?
I agree the changelog and documentation can do as separate files. How about v1.2_changelog.txt and v1.2_doc.txt?

v1.2 change logs mention builds which you can download from official patch website (except old ones of course).
I don't think it is really necessary to show test builds which you can only download from this forum. Also, these builds mostly have small changes. It would just make text file larger by having not really useful info. Test build features are usually implemented to later alpha builds anyway, If they are not, why mention a feature which only exists in one build then? Especially for version which is even MORE unstable than alpha.

[List of v1.2 test builds I have collected from various ORP topics] I think I'm missing one, let me know if you found any others.
None of them were ever mentioned inside v1.2 change log. I have no idea what exact builds you call "minor".
[Edit]: Alpha 11.0417 doesn't really have anything "interesting" to mention, so I can understand why it was removed. Alpha 11.0331 features were mentioned in Alpha 11.0416 on newer readme if you haven't noticed.

Compare old readmes with new ones, some build's changelogs are missing. I think these are
minor ones
This is what i meant:

------------------------
Alpha 11.0416:
------------------------
New Features|
------------/
- Added Late Joining support (1.2 only).
- Kick player support (can kick players running older versions too). In Waiting Room,

players the same way.
- Enabled trailer camera for multiplayer. Hide HUD when waiting for all players ready.
Keypress Conflict Prevention: When chat is on, all keyboard keys are locked out for

never locked out: the arrow keys, home, end, pgup, pgdn, left and right ctrl. Joystick
and other controllers are always free even when chat is on.
Bug Fixes|

- More efficient management of available bandwidth.

Alpha 11.0331:

- Included d3drm.dll file to make Track Editor usable in Vista / 7.
