RecentChanges is ordinary page so it would be much more complicated to
delete lines based on date then to simply delete lines after
$RCLinesMax. Format of RecentChanges items can be fully customized, so
parsing code would have to match this format. If you need to have a
list limited by date you could use dynamically created pagelist:

(:pagelist order=-time if="date {(ftime %F -7days)}..{(ftime %F
today)} @{=$LastModifiedTime}" fmt=#YourListFormat:)

where $LastModifiedTime is a page variable defined as

$FmtPV['$LastModifiedTime'] =  "\$page['time']";

and YourListFormat is pagelist template defining format of individual
list items. For testing purposes you could use fmt=#simple.

This requires pmwiki2.2.0beta45 or later.
