Release notes should be useful

  • In the last couple of days the plugin has caused some major issues (as in ‘bringing websites down’ level of severity).

    I appreciate that you fixed it quickly, but your release information sucks.

    The notes are useless for decision making.

    Eg.
    1.16.1
    2017-05-08
    [TWEAK] Added PHP version requirements

    As a user, I have no idea from that if you have fixed the problem from v1.16, and as you know, users are now having issues because they have the wrong version of PHP (and there was no way to prevent this because your notes contain no information about new requirements).

    Something like this would have been much more useful:
    1.16.1
    2017-05-08
    [FIXED] Bug causing errors on site load
    [CHANGE] PHP version 5.5 now required (previous 5.nn)

  • the plugin

    Whichever plugin this is you should post your comments in that plugin’s support forum.
