The Changelog

[Atlanta-Ned]

I'm a madman

Basically, the in-game changelog isn't easily viewable anywhere unless you're in-game orrrrrr pull down the github repo and check it out manually. This is less than optimal so I've set up an archive for it on the wiki. Poke around, what I'm doing should be fairly self explanatory.

I also wanted to add a section for tracking testmerged code and policy changes. Testmerged code isn't usually announced and policy changes can get lost in the shuffle.

My plan is to update things when I can, but I'd be more than happy if I wasn't the only person trying to maintain this.

Cool beans.

sounds hard as shit to maintain

but will ultimately be worthwhile in the long run, hope you do well man

Someone make the in game changelog load faster.

Someone make the in game changelog load faster.

There's no reason for it to load the last year's worth of changes. Basically 5k lines of HTML.

EDIT: Actually the existing changelog generator can be used to push updates to the wiki automatically. Hmm...

It's been on my todo list ot modify the changelog generator to cut older lines from the ingame changelog automatically, so we end up with only the last month or so of changes.

I have a THRILLING UPDATE!

The contents of the green box are now fed by a template! Literally all you need to do is paste the most recent changelog entries into Template:LatestChanges and they'll populate automatically.

I'll work on automating this. The site is what generates changelogs for github when PRS are merged, so we can just have it push updates on merge

[Atlanta-Ned]

Urg. It looks like some changes (test merges?) are being added to the most recent date, which is itself getting updated. HRM...

The mecha's were merged yesterday

The auto changelog compile probably happened when the server updated.

What's the matter with that?

Oh plus mso if you want I could look at make the changelog generator generate wiki markup, shouldn't be too hard
