Bundle full changelog with your extension

Open jerone opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Please bundle the full changelog with your extension.

This allows users to see all changes under the 'Version history' tab in the Marketplace (for example https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items/ryu1kn.extension-update-reporter/changelog).

And it allows Extension Update Reporter extension to correctly display your changelog. image

I'm seeing that you are bundling some sort of "mini changelog". Why is that needed? I would advice to bundle the full CHANGELOG.md file.

On a separate note, I see that your changelog doesn't follow the Keep a Changelog guideline principles anymore after version 4.0.9. Specifically:

  • Versions and sections should be linkable.
  • The release date of each version is displayed.

Another note: you might want to exclude some files when publishing: image

Keeps the extension small and clean.
