Remove outdated ChangeLog file from repository

Open rakekniven opened this issue 3 years ago • 6 comments

The file ChangeLog stops at v2.6.4

The whole v3.x series is not there.

Please remove it.

Or rename it to "ChangeLog - legacy" and add a note to the top which refers to the release page.

If you agree I can provide PR for that.

I really thought this file was removed. There is this issue that requests sort of the opposite https://github.com/nextcloud/desktop/issues/4565. Now I am thinking that we should update the ChangeLog.

My 2 cents -- I think it's a good thing to keep and update, most requests to delete it seem to stem from the fact that we haven't touched it in so long (which is fair).

I don't know what we should do about all the missing versions though :/

I am very much in favour of maintaining a changelog. A GitHub issue listing / commit message listing often doesn't help the user. A good changelog is worth a lot.

Just add them using the release notes.

I can provide a PR if you like. Additionally I vote to adapt changelog style from https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/

the data from the past years shows: there is little to no interest in that changelog of this software. 🕳️ will the effort be worth it? 🤷🏻‍♂️
