This is more about the changelog software you publish I guess, but since it's something that is affecting my EasySocial experience I figured I would post it here.

The issue is that when I update EasySocial, there are almost always template updates that break functionality/AJAX if I don't update them as well. This ***** because I can't customize the templates very easily without having to reapply them every time an update comes out, which is, shall we say, "very frequently".

What would help me immensely to know if/what files I need to update specifically around things like the templates. Even not having to click individually on "files" in each changelog item would be nice - just a complete list of changed files would be helpful, even if they don't have a diff or specific lines that were changed, so I know if something that affects the templates needs to be updated, and if so, which specific file.

Ideally you would also tag these changelog entries better, so that, for example, anything that affected or could potentially affect a template would have a tag "template"; anything that affected AJAX would have an "ajax" tag, and so forth. These may be in files that are all throughout the system which is why having them tagged with specific affected subsystems would be helpful.

Thanks!
Hello JF,

Thanks for the heads up on this! Unfortunately right now there is no "changesets" available currently As we are hosting our own changelogs, we'll see what we can do about this in the future. The only issue that we have is that the nature of the licensing.

We'll see what we can do about this in the near future

Yeah I can understand you not wanting to display code changes to the average user without a license check. The filenames though, would be incredibly handy at least, as well as a rollup feature.

I actually really like the idea of changelog, so I'm excited to see the new features you add to it (ref: statuspage.io)

Thanks!
JF
