Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Keep a Changelog format?
Keep a Changelog is a standardized format for maintaining changelogs. It uses semantic versioning, groups changes by type (Added, Changed, Fixed, etc.), and keeps the most recent changes at the top.
What is semantic versioning?
Semantic versioning (SemVer) uses the format MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH. Increment MAJOR for breaking changes, MINOR for new features, and PATCH for bug fixes.
What are the change categories?
The standard categories are: Added (new features), Changed (changes to existing functionality), Deprecated (features marked for removal), Removed (deleted features), Fixed (bug fixes), and Security (vulnerability fixes).
How do I add comparison links?
Enter your GitHub repository URL in the settings. The tool will automatically generate comparison links between versions in the footer of your changelog.
Can I edit multiple versions?
Yes! Click "Add Release" to add multiple versions to your changelog. Each release can have its own version number, date, and list of changes. Switch between releases using the version tabs.
