"belie" can also just mean "to be in contradiction with".

Which I assume was the definition being used. As in, "the simplicity of the changelog is in contradiction with the actual complexity of the project".

Thanks for that, yes that is indeed the way I am using the word. A bit old-school perhaps...

In that case, definition 4 should fit the bill. Reading the changelog gives a "false representation" on the complexity of the project.

All of these senses have the meaning, loosely, "to be in contradiction with"; my confusion was how any particular one of them applied, and which one. In a way, senses 4 and 7 are opposites: in one case it's the belier that's false, and in the other sense it's the thing belied.
