changelog

A changelog is a crucial document in software development that records all notable changes made to a project over time. It serves as a historical record, detailing updates, bug fixes, new features, and other modifications. By maintaining a changelog, developers provide transparency to users, allowing them to understand the evolution of the software and the impact of each change. This practice not only enhances user trust but also aids in project management and collaboration among team members. Tools like conventional-changelog can automate the generation of changelogs, ensuring consistency and adherence to specific formatting conventions.
