Provide a human-readable changelog

Context and Problem Statement

Changes of a release have to be communicated. How and which style to use?

Considered Options

  • Keep-a-changelog format with freedom in the bullet points
  • Keep-a-changelog format and fixed terms

Decision Outcome

Chosen option: “Keep-a-changelog format with freedom in the bullet points”, because

  • Keep-a-changelog structures the changelog
  • Each entry can be structured to be understandable
  • Forcing to prefix each line with We fixed, We changed, … seems to be read strange.

    We nevertheless try to follow that style.
