Changelog

manuel

Can you write and keep up to date a changelog in this forum?

P.S.: changelogs on github & everywhere!

+1, details only needed for changes that affect plugin-authors...
would be easier than @julian or @psychobunny contacting authors (of widespread plugins) when their plugins fail on master ^^

Not sure if this helps:

https://community.nodebb.org/topic/1228#8878
and
https://github.com/designcreateplay/NodeBB/wiki/Version-History-%26-Roadmap

And I agree with the plugin stuff. We're pretty happy with the system in general right now, so I think its safe to say we won't be pushing anymore breaking changes to plugins for a good while. But I'll keep that in mind, perhaps make a new pinned thread in the plugin category

Don't hesitate to make breaking changes until 1.0.0, just be sure they make NodeBB better
One reason I love NodeBB for is the amount of breaking changes done yet since I wrote my first plugin - even so I've not managed to upgrade my theme to 0.4.x, will do so soon...
Of cause it's annoying for the authors but it improves the quality of NodeBB step for step and that's what it's supposed to be.

@frissdiegurke I keep a running tally of things that break in the "Gotchas" post that I do for each minor version.
