Transparency builds trust. Every update, improvement, and fix — documented here.
What makes a good changelog
Be specific
"Improved performance" means nothing. "Reduced load from 4.2s to 1.8s" means everything.
Be honest
If something was broken and you fixed it, say so. Accountability builds trust.
Keep it regular
Even small updates deserve a log entry. Frequency signals that the project is alive.
Version it
