Friend to friend: When you make a release please take a few minutes to make a human-readable changelog of what has changed since the last release?
Your commit-messages are not a changelog.
Let me re-iterate:
Your commit-messages are _not_ a changelog.
A changelog allows me to follow what you were thinking between releases.
A commit log shows me your keystrokes between releases.
I need to know what you were thinking.
Thank you.
@craigmaloney Want to see the worst changelog ever? https://www.shelxle.org/shelx/chlg/changelog.php
@Canageek Ugh, you're right; it's even worse than a git commit log.
@craigmaloney What is your opinion on snarking at other software in your changelogs? http://shelx.uni-goettingen.de/changes.php (Search for OLEX2. Also yes, this software is 40 years old and still updating)
