changelog for every new version?

#1 Post by the_watcher »

how about posting a changelog for every new version of a program so that we know what's changed/fixed/implemented? what do you think?
i think it's useful to know..

I don't know, I think is not needed to store the full changelog of all apps (because you can find it on respective software pages).

Well... whomever is editing the program entry can add as much as they want for the change log.

See what I did for 1by1 for example:

is it stealth? ;)

basically, i thought it would be nice to post a small changelog 'cause i couldn't find what was changed in the new version of DropIt ;)
and i'm not talking about the full changelog, only the latest changes (from the previous version to the new one)..a few more lines of text wouldn't be that much of a problem..

I'm all for an additional changelog link in the database, pointing to the changelog on the program's website. Somewhere next to Website - Screenshot - Download - Comments - etc. The changelog is often a bit difficult to find on the original websites. So a convenient link would be useful. With programs that I already use and that got updated, I am always primarily interested in the changelog (which, as said, is sometimes awkward to find).
