[Feature Request] Changelog for Plugin Updates

[archedraft]

I checked for updates today on the plugin tab and noticed that there is a new update for Dynamix. It would be really nice if there was a way to hover over new update and get a list of changes.

So the team actually saw this need as fairly easy to solve and already implemented this in the code to work where there will be an icon next to the update version that's available that when clicked, invokes a window with the release notes. (See below)

 

Thanks to bonienl and Eric for this!

It's up to plugin authors to now implement the changelog in their respective plugins.

It is not mandatory, but recommended to add the CHANGES section in your PLG file.

How can I test this without releasing an update?

You need to wait first for the updated webGui version which has support for this functionality

 

There are online tools for checking the Markdown output.

Got it.  Thank you.

Guys, as this is a redundant post to the one I already moved into the 6.0 subforum, I'm going to close and move this thread to the boneyard.
