Originally created by @mnapoli on GitHub (Jul 22, 2013).
SemVer 2.0 needs a change log. What has fundamentally changed since 1.* version that requires us to change anything?
This is the basics of versioning ;)
@njharman commented on GitHub (Jul 22, 2013):
source control is change log https://github.com/mojombo/semver/compare/v1.0.0...v2.0.0
@mnapoli commented on GitHub (Jul 22, 2013):
You could say that for every existing project, yet most of them provide a change log. Not everybody will take time looking at diffs to see what has changed.
Since there is a major number increment, a visitor can assume there are large, uncompatible changes with v1.0. That's too bad there is no summary of the major change that triggered the new major version.
@andrew-kzoo commented on GitHub (Jul 22, 2013):
I'm glad to see 2.0.0, though also a bit surprised its come without a changelog.
@dwijnand commented on GitHub (Feb 12, 2014):

And a commit log is not a change log IMO, it's filled with irrelevant cruft: typo fixes etc. It doesn't provide an overview of what fundamental changes have happened.

I totally agree that there should be a change log. Besides being able to understand what's changed, it could also serve as guidance for others as to what constitutes a major version update. Going forward, it would be supremely helpful in determining if a project that was compliant with SemVer 2.0 is in compliance with 3.0.

a commit log is not a change log👍
I'm glad to see new comments on this issue!

Just in case, for people who don't know, you can see the rendered diff here on github (not ideal, but better than nothing) Unfortunately I can't refer to it directly, so you need to follow these steps:
Very unintuitively this will bring you back to the 'commits' page, so you need to:
As I said it's not ideal, since it will just show all changes and not the relevant ones, but it does give a bit more information.
@crazedsanity commented on GitHub (Feb 26, 2014):
Well, that is at the least a useful tool to be able to create a change log. Thanks for the tip, @creynders.

It sure does, @dwijnand, thanks!
@creynders commented on GitHub (Feb 26, 2014):
@dwijnand Ah cool, I tried a dozen different ways to get a url leading to that, but always got thrown back at the main comparison page.
@jwdonahue commented on GitHub (Dec 2, 2017):
@mnapoli, unless you wish to pursue this issue further, please close it at your earliest possible convenience.
