3 Changelog

Since we follow Conventional Commits, we’re able to automatically create a release based on the commit message by using Commitizen. This means that releases can happen quite often, sometimes several in a day. It also means any individual release will not have many changes within it. Below is a list of releases along with what was changed within it.
