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.
Describe how your proposal will work, with code, pseudo-code, mock-ups, and/or diagrams
Keep a changelog.
- Use the https://github.com/V-Sekai/v-sekai-proposals #repository as a placeholder.
- Delay migrations to main project #repository to a later date.
If this enhancement will not be used often, can it be worked around with a few lines of script?
