Introduce a neutral type of change in changelog
Something can be just a change — not a feature, not refactoring, not patch, just a change.
I disagree, I think we should close this issue. Nobody does changes for no reason and therefore the current categories should be enough.
Generally we make changes with the aim to:
- improve something ->
feature - fix something ->
bugfix - improve code quality ->
refactoring
I can not envision change that would not fall in these categories.
Also the more categories we have the more complicated will the contribution process get. And we do not want it to be complicated.
What if you change e.g. Tabs border color to a slightly different shade of gray? It doesn't introduce anything new nor it doesn't fix anything. It may be a design improvement (although calling it a feature sounds too much to me), but from the code point of view it's just a change.
It doesn't introduce anything new nor it doesn't fix anything.
Why bother doing it then when it brings no benefit?
A better design may be the benefit. For me, that is worth doing.
But a design improvement is a feature, no? As you wrote above:
improve something -> feature
If it is not a feature, I could envision a design type change. I think we don't need it, but if you think we do I'm fine with it.
