5.8 Changelog

MageSuite as a whole gets updated very often - every week there are dozens of changes across all extensions and themes.

Changelog view will allow you to track and comprehend changes introduced both in MageSuite ecosystem and in your project’s customisations.

Each extension and theme produced by creativestyle will have its own changelog file where information about each change is stored.

Then - all these files are combined into one list which you can view in admin panel:

_{*Patches support is planned for version 1.2.0}

Since changelog is build entirely from files, changes that you see are 100% reliable - that means - you can see list of changes on staging environment, before it gets deployed to production.

By timeline - changes are rendered as flat list, convenient to view new changes between deployments.
