Checks

PASS
Recognizable release entries. 68 entries parsed ("## heading" style). Guide: The Keep a Changelog format, explained
PASS
Every entry has a date. All entries carry a date — readers can tell when things shipped. Guide: The Keep a Changelog format, explained
WARN
Newest release first. 4 entries are out of date order. Guide: Changelog page design: layout and UI patterns that work
PASS
Titles say what changed. No “bug fixes and improvements”-style filler titles found. Guide: How to write a changelog (with examples)
PASS
Entries have content. No empty version-only entries. Guide: Release notes templates: copy-paste formats for every kind of change
WARN
Written for readers, not a commit dump. 11 entries look like raw git log output (commit hashes / “feat:” prefixes). Generated lists are a draft — edit before publishing. Guide: Generate a changelog from git commits (without publishing garbage)
PASS
Bullets say what changed. No zero-information bullets (“wip”, “fix stuff”) found. Guide: How to write a changelog (with examples)
WARN
Breaking changes stand out. Breaking changes are mentioned mid-text but not flagged — lead with “Breaking:” or a heading so skimmers can’t miss them. Guide: How to announce breaking changes (without losing users)
