Changelog text
Hi,
every time JD is updated I can never understand what changes have been made. An additional feature that I would find very useful would be to have a changelog and a visual difference of the settings added / modified (perhaps with a "new" ribbon, bold, text of a different color), so as to understand which settings need my attention. Thanks in advance. |

currently you can parse the update logs it can tell you which classes have been updated (altered), though not specially what has changed. I don't foresee a change log in your prescribed fashion, as its too manual and would slow down how the updates system. If it can be automatically scraped from the commit messages, then maybe different. Currently not all devs commit with the same message frame work so it could be just as useless.

You can either parse the update logs and check what files have changed or check subversion history and check commit messages. There are no plans for changelogs for users as it would eat too much time and no real benefit for the user. There is no sense in a changelog that would contain *changed regex* or *updated handling* because user doesn't understand what those messages mean and there is no sense in several *fixed plugin a*, 2 mins later *fixed plugin a* and so on.
Also adding visual highlight of changes would require lots of time/work that is better spend on development/bugfixing Today alone there have been 10 updates already.
