Plugin changelog truncation can break WordPress.org site layout

Description

WordPress.org appears to truncate plugin changelogs after a certain number of characters. However, if the truncation occurs in an inconvenient place -- such as the middle of an HTML tag -- it can cause browser rendering issues in other parts of the page.

For example, on the ​changelog page for my plugin SEO Ultimate, the plugin page sidebar is currently showing up below the changelog (​screenshot). This is because the changelog is being truncated in the middle of an <li> tag, apparently leading my browser (Chrome) to fail to recognize a </div> closing tag:

<l</div><!-- block-content--></div>

I would suggest that the easiest and perhaps best solution would be simply to stop truncating plugin changelogs. Layout breakage possibilities aside, I would prefer it if my plugin's changelog were not cut off after a certain point.
