change log

Revision history document

A change log is a record of modifications made to a project, typically software, listed in reverse chronological order.

Each entry documents what changed, when, and often why: Check the change log before updating.

Also spelled changelog.

Developers maintain change logs to help users and contributors track version history and new features.
