The changelog widget was previously a standalone widget type but is now just an ObjectListWidget.

That's very inconvinient to be removed. It helped alot just to see the latest changes right from the homepage.

If this is not planned, it should not be a part of the default dashboard either but since it is provided initially, a user should be able to add it back into the homepage.

The ObjectListWidget is not the same as ChangelogWidget as I'm interested to see the changes not the objects themselves.
