Changelog

What is a Changelog?

A changelog is a document that records the changes, new features, improvements, and bug fixes made to a software program across its different versions.

Often formatted as a bulleted list, a changelog typically includes the changes made in each release, along with the version number and the date of release.

Why are changelogs useful?

Changelogs are useful for users, as they provide a clear way to track updates and changes to a program over time. They are also useful for developers, who can use them to communicate updates to other team members and to the wider community of users.

As well as listing what is new and improved, detailed changelogs may also document specific bugs that have been patched, along with any outstanding "known issues" that remain in the software. For this reason, a changelog is sometimes also referred to as a software product's "release notes".
