wish: keep a changelog

[markstos]

It would help people evaluating upgrading if a changelog was kept. For example, one of the last releases had a major version upgrade. This implies possibly breaking changes, but documentation is found of what the breaking changes are.

The easiest way to keep a Changelog is to use the Github "Releases" feature.

We have two major releases

0.1.x which predates inter-container communication in legacy podman versions < 3.2.0

1.0.x which uses new podman network create and dns plugin

And the current devel version 1.0.4 which will become 1.1.x which puts all containers in a single pod

Those are documented in readme

I agree with the OP that at least some simple changelog, if not e better one, would likely reduce a lot of support questions and effort for you as a maintainer. The thing is if stuff is not fully documented, especially breaking changes, users will have to ask what happened. With documented, I mean a changelist, upgrade guides, etc.

So a small Changelog could mean more effort once for writing it, but less support later for answering all the tickets etc.

BTW a technical addendum: If you wanna generate a Changelog from commits e.g. (though now deprecated as I just see, but there are alternatives).
