changelog
Project revision history
A changelog is a record of modifications made to software, documenting what changed between versions.
Developers maintain changelogs to help users understand new features, bug fixes, and breaking changes: Check the changelog before updating.
The term combines "change" and "log," appearing in software documentation and version control systems.
