I'm not an expert on SE, but just to follow the logic of this
conversation, "portal" would appear to be a specialised vocabulary
word defined for the purpose of Wikipedia (as far as the SE universe
goes). There's no good reason to define "recent" the same way, when
it's only going to be used for that single page, "recent changes".

That said, either "New changes" or "Newest changes" seem quite reasonable to me.
