I maintain my version history in 2 places. One is a history.txt file in the plugin zip. The other is as a spoiler in the text for easy viewing.
If you want to use text in the posting to display to the user, then I have no issue formatting it in a way that you can use (although I like the spoiler to hide things people might not want to see. But then my plugin has a lot of information to present and spoilers were the only way to avoid overwhelming people).
If you want to display the contents of a file, then I can rename the file from history.txt to something else if you prefer (keeping .txt so it displays properly when opened). You could then download and extract the zip to get the file and display it in a window for the plugin or just provide a button/link to open/view it.
Or I could just attach the file to the plugin thread's first post - which might be easier because then I can just link to that file instead of an inline spoiler (I'll give that a test) and you could link/access it easier.
Would you want to display just the recent changes or the whole change history? If you just want to display recent changes I'd think you would be restricted to showing just the update for the newest version and not the updates since the last version a user has installed. But showing just the recent stuff might take more parsing and restrict the format a lot more.
