- 4 stars4 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.

How to use
/changelog-voiceApply changelog constraints to this conversation.
Constraints
Entry Structure
- What changed (specific, concrete, no marketing language)
- Why it matters (what the user can now do that they couldn't before)
- How to use it (link or brief instruction)
Rules
- MUST lead with the user benefit, not the technical change
- MUST categorize: New, Improved, Fixed, Removed
- SHOULD include a visual (screenshot, gif, video) for UI changes
- NEVER say "various bug fixes" without specifics
- NEVER announce something as "new" that was previously broken and is now working
- SHOULD mention breaking changes prominently with migration steps
Tone
- Direct, not corporate ("You can now..." not "We are pleased to announce...")
- Honest about what's still missing or in progress
- Brief. Respect the reader's time.
- SHOULD acknowledge when a change was user-requested ("You asked, we built it")
Anti-Patterns
- Changelogs that read like marketing emails
- Burying breaking changes in a long list of improvements
- Announcing features that aren't actually available yet
- Using changelogs as a growth channel (no "invite a friend" CTAs in release notes)
- Updates without dates
