What is a changelog?

A changelog is a file which contains a curated, chronologically ordered list of notable changes for each version of a project.

Why keep a changelog?

To make it easier for users and contributors to see precisely what notable changes have been made between each release (or version) of the project.

Who needs a changelog?

People do. Whether consumers or developers, the end users of software are human beings who care about what's in the software. When the software changes, people want to know why and how.

How do I make a good changelog?

Guiding Principles

• Changelogs are for humans, not machines.
• There should be an entry for every single version.
• The same types of changes should be grouped.
• Versions and sections should be linkable.
• The latest version comes first.
• The release date of each version is displayed.
• Mention whether you follow Semantic Versioning.

Types of changes

• Added for new features.
• Changed for changes in existing functionality.
• Deprecated for soon-to-be removed features.
• Removed for now removed features.
• Fixed for any bug fixes.
• Security in case of vulnerabilities.

How can I reduce the effort required to maintain a changelog?

Keep an Unreleased section at the top to track upcoming changes.

This serves two purposes:

• People can see what changes they might expect in upcoming releases
• At release time, you can move the Unreleased section changes into a new release version section.

Can changelogs be bad?

Yes. Here are a few ways they can be less than useful.

Commit log diffs

Using commit log diffs as changelogs is a bad idea: they're full of noise. Things like merge commits, commits with obscure titles, documentation changes, etc.

The purpose of a commit is to document a step in the evolution of the source code. Railroad tycoon 3 full game. Twisted wave mac. Some projects clean up commits, some don't.

Ignoring Deprecations

When people upgrade from one version to another, it should be painfully clear when something will break. It should be possible to upgrade to a version that lists deprecations, remove what's deprecated, then upgrade to the version where the deprecations become removals.

If you do nothing else, list deprecations, removals, and any breaking changes in your changelog.

Confusing Dates

Regional date formats vary throughout the world and it's often difficult to find a human-friendly date format that feels intuitive to everyone. The advantage of dates formatted like 2017-07-17 is that they follow the order of largest to smallest units: year, month, and day. This format also doesn't overlap in ambiguous ways with other date formats, unlike some regional formats that switch the position of month and day numbers. These reasons, and the fact this date format is an ISO standard, are why it is the recommended date format for changelog entries.

Inconsistent Changes

A changelog which only mentions some of the changes can be as dangerous as not having a changelog. Camtasia 2019 0 7 crack. While many of the changes may not be relevant - for instance, removing a single whitespace may not need to be recorded in all instances - any important changes should be mentioned in the changelog. By inconsistently applying changes, your users may mistakenly think that the changelog is the single source of truth. It ought to be. With great power comes great responsibility - having a good changelog means having a consistently updated changelog.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a standard changelog format?

Not really. There's the GNU changelog style guide, or the two-paragraph-long GNU NEWS file 'guideline'. Both are inadequate or insufficient.

This project aims to be a better changelog convention. It comes from observing good practices in the open source community and gathering them.

Healthy criticism, discussion and suggestions for improvements are welcome.

What should the changelog file be named?

Eurocode 2: design of concrete structures. Call it CHANGELOG.md. Some projects use HISTORY, NEWS or RELEASES.

While it's easy to think that the name of your changelog file doesn't matter that much, why make it harder for your end users to consistently find notable changes?

What about GitHub Releases?

It's a great initiative. Releases can be used to turn simple git tags (for example a tag named v1.0.0) into rich release notes by manually adding release notes or it can pull annotated git tag messages and turn them into notes.

GitHub Releases create a non-portable changelog that can only be displayed to users within the context of GitHub. It's possible to make them look very much like the Keep a Changelog format, but it tends to be a bit more involved.

The current version of GitHub releases is also arguably not very discoverable by end-users, unlike the typical uppercase files (README, CONTRIBUTING, etc.). Another minor issue is that the interface doesn't currently offer links to commit logs between each release.

Can changelogs be automatically parsed?

Keep It 1 0 3

It's difficult, because people follow wildly different formats and file names.

Vandamme is a Ruby gem created by the Gemnasium team and which parses many (but not all) open source project changelogs.

What about yanked releases?

Yanked releases are versions that had to be pulled because of a serious bug or security issue. Often these versions don't even appear in change logs. They should. This is how you should display them:

## 0.0.5 - 2014-12-13 [YANKED]

The [YANKED] tag is loud for a reason. It's important for people to notice it. Since it's surrounded by brackets it's also easier to parse programmatically.

Should you ever rewrite a changelog?

Sure. There are always good reasons to improve a changelog. I regularly open pull requests to add missing releases to open source projects with unmaintained changelogs.

It's also possible you may discover that you forgot to address a breaking change in the notes for a version. It's obviously important for you to update your changelog in this case.

How can I contribute?

This document is not the truth; it's my carefully considered opinion, along with information and examples I gathered.

This is because I want our community to reach a consensus. I believe the discussion is as important as the end result.

So please pitch in.

Conversations

I went on The Changelog podcast to talk about why maintainers and contributors should care about changelogs, and also about the motivations behind this project.

It's not something that has been said often since March, but it deserves to be said: keep up the good work, Cornwall, SDG and Akwesasne.

In the face of a global pandemic that has infected millions and killed hundreds of thousands, we have fared well – so far – in keeping the worst of this virus from deeply embedding itself in our communities.

As we are well into the seventh month of the pandemic, we've seen no COVID-19 deaths in Cornwall, Akwesasne, and SDG. Our hospitalizations have been minimal. Outbreaks in our long-term care facilities have been limited to one or two individuals at a time, and predominantly staff members rather than patients. We have not had a case in one of our schools, or child-care centres, either among staff members or students.

With one exception in South Glengarry a few weeks ago, when we see new cases appear in our communities, it's a few at a time. Not by the handfuls, or by the dozens as we've seen these past weeks in Prescott-Russell's communities.

To be clear, so we aren't accused a second time of inciting complacency: COVID-19 is among us. As a surge of new cases is being seen across the country, we have not been immune and are seeing new cases in our neighbourhoods. We need to stay abreast of and follow the public health measures— and hold onto a good dose of patience when they change.

If we let go, if we stop doing what we have been doing, COVID-19 will not relent. Step software download. It will, as we've seen elsewhere, grow.

If it gains more than a toehold in our communities, our demographics will work against us. This virus feeds on the medically vulnerable and the elderly. It finds fuel among the impoverished, some of whom are already among the preceding two indices, and whose working and living conditions make self-isolation a challenge. As communities with higher rates of poverty, a more elderly population, and one with a higher proportion of medically vulnerable people, the virus would have a field day here if it were not for the efforts we've made to stay healthy and keep it contained.

If all the naysayers and social-media COVID-19 behavioural experts were actually correct, the reality is we'd have more cases, and we don't.

While it may be we have been benefiting from weaker connections to hot-spot communities than elsewhere, it cannot reasonably be by sheer luck, or chance, that for every confirmed case in our communities, Prescott-Russell has seen almost two.

It's been our collective efforts— and now is not the time to relent.
