Changelogs & Release Notes

1 min read

Changelogs & Release Notes use case — publish structured, machine-readable release notes alongside canonical docs.

What this is (short answer): A way to publish changelogs and release notes that are machine-readable, cross-linked to canonical docs, and optimized for extractability so both humans and LLMs can surface recent changes quickly.

Why this helps

  • Makes product changes discoverable and citable.
  • Keeps canonical documentation linked to specific releases.
  • Enables AI agents to summarize recent updates for users.

When to use

  • You ship frequent releases and need clear migration notes or deprecations.
  • You want release-level metadata separate from long-form docs.

Quick start

  1. Publish a short paper per notable release with version and datePublished metadata.
  2. Add a 1–2 sentence extractable summary at the top for AI snippets.
  3. Link each release to affected canonical docs and add a brief migration note if needed.
