What is a changelog?
A changelog is a change protocol where changes, for example to a software, a website or within a project, are documented. So, in a changelog - also called 'release note', 'news', 'what's new' etc. - changes and the history of a new development are documented.The content and structure of the changelog
The information logged in a changelog can vary. In an internal company system, usually all changes and thus numerous small details are documented. This can be very important to ensure traceability. Often, however, customers are not interested in all the details of a change; for them, the benefit of a change is the main focus. A changelog within software development is therefore also a marketing instrument. It is an evidence for the further development of features and a possibility to highlight individual aspects of the change.The design of a changelog for users causes relatively much effort. Many companies therefore work with a configuration or changelog management system like Sleekplan that documents all changes and marks the information that is later - manually or automatically - transferred to the changelog.
Different formats
The form in which a changelog is presented varies: it can be a flat or nested list of changes, a table or a document. The form depends on the purpose of the log: If it is an internal company log, changes are often managed in lists and/or tables. If it is information that informs users about new developments, improvements or bug fixes of a software, it is usually provided as a document.A tool to build a changelog!
