Change Log
Noun · Hacker Culture
Definitions
A record of changes made over time to a product, codebase, document, or system. In culture and practice, change logs are part documentation, part trust signal, showing whether a team communicates updates clearly.
In plain English: A record of what changed over time.
Example: "The open-source project earned goodwill because every release came with a readable change log instead of a vague 'misc fixes' note."
