Changelog Root

Overview

Update the root ChangeLog entry and keep the root release version and version lists consistent.

Versioning

  1. Identify the change type (patch, minor, major). Ask if unclear.
  2. Read the top entry in ChangeLog and note whether it is UNRELEASED.
  3. Find the latest released version from the first dated entry.
  4. Compute the target version from the latest released version and the change type:
    • Patch: fixes, docs, or internal changes without new features.
    • Minor: new features or notable behavior changes.
    • Major: breaking changes.
  5. Apply one of these states:
    • No UNRELEASED entry: insert a new UNRELEASED entry at the top with the target version.
    • UNRELEASED exists but target version is higher: update the * VERSION: line to the target version.
    • UNRELEASED exists and target version is the same or lower: keep the * VERSION: line unchanged.
  6. Never downgrade an existing UNRELEASED version.
  7. Update rebar.config at {release, {qrpc, "X.Y.Z"}, ...} to match the UNRELEASED version.
  8. Do not replace UNRELEASED with a date; only do that at release time.

Scope and Forbidden Reads

Only edit the repository root ChangeLog. Do not open or modify any other ChangeLog files in the repo. It is forbidden to read apps/*/ChangeLog or config/pkgsrc/files/*/*/ChangeLog for this task unless you edited them or asked to do so.

Subsystem Versioning

Refresh * SUBSYSTEM VERSIONS: from apps/*/src/*.app.src (vsn values) if you edited them or asked to do so. Keep the existing order and formatting. Do not read new ChangeLog files just for this. If you are not sure what to do, skip this section.

Package Versioning

Refresh * PACKAGE VERSIONS: from config/pkgsrc/files/meta-pkgs/*/Makefile (DISTNAME versions) if you edited those meta-pkg files or were asked to do so. Keep the existing order and formatting. Do not add versions for non-meta packages; their ChangeLogs (example: config/pkgsrc/files/audio/voicevox_core/ChangeLog) do not affect the root ChangeLog. Do not read new ChangeLog files just for this. If you are not sure what to do, skip this section.

Change Description

Append the new change line(s) under the version lists in the UNRELEASED entry.

Formatting Rules

Use the existing ChangeLog formatting:

  • Use a header line like UNRELEASED ts-klassen <qrpc@su-shiki.com> or YYYY-MM-DD ts-klassen <qrpc@su-shiki.com>.
  • Keep a blank line after the header.
  • Use tabs for indentation and * bullets, matching the file.
  • Use 2 new lines in between entries.

Example Requests

  • "Update ChangeLog"
  • "Update ChangeLog as minor update"
  • "Update the root ChangeLog and rebar.config release version to 0.2.0."
