  • A developer here, I usually list user - facing changes in the Changelog.

    Even if the changes are not listed, general “bug fixes and performance improvements” is a worthwhile update too. These updates can contain fixes to annoying UX glitches, or really speed up the app, if a new faster API endpoint was added to the backend, and app change is needed to make use of it. You will also get security updates, to the app and its bundled libraries which is important nowadays.




  • Sounds like a flawed workflow, if this didn’t go through at least code review. Was it committed directly to master?

    Curious to know what kind of system relies on hashed not changing? Technically the hashes don’t change, but a new set of commits is made. The history diverges, and you can still keep the old master if you need it for some time, even cherry pick patches to it…
