I for one would like to see a daily (?) mail of what's going on - maybe not daily.. but something that I can sink my teeth into on new/fixed things ;)

maxtaco commented 10 years ago

I keep some changelogs in keybase/node-client, keybase/node-installer, keybase/kbpgp, keybase/gpg-wrapper, keybase/pgp-utils, and keybase/triplesec

coolacid commented 10 years ago

Fair enough - just a rolling news to keep tabs on you guys.. ;)

It would be nice if you could post big enhancements or bug fixes on your blog so users are able to see what's new.

Changelogs are important. I have a new update from Keybase of 121.6MB, I would like to verify what's in it, is it worth that size download, this is what I see:

@datashaman We do publish changelogs on https://github.com/keybase/client/releases, and if you subscribe to releases on keybase/client you can get updates that way too.

Though I agree it'd be nice to get the changelogs in this view as well.

I think all you have to do is put the changelog into the repository in a specific place.

Point 4.3 here - note that it says it's a required file for Debian packages, and it's a pretty standard way of showing incoming changes across all systems derived from Debian (Ubuntu and Mint for example).

https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/dreq.en.html

If I have a list of 20 packages being updated, I'm not going to visit 20 sites to find their changelog pages; which will make me blindly accept all upgrades, which is not good for security. I do check their changelogs in the software updater (where they are installed and when they're there).

EDIT: It's a little more than putting it in the right place, I'll acknowledge that. :)
