[BUG] Outdated CHANGELOG

[MarcinOrlowski]

Despite CC being at version 1.0.30, the /release-notes ends the journey at 1.0.27

@MarcinOrlowski can you consider amending this as a bug/feature request or something to ask that CHANGELOGs should be updated when there is a release? I was going to file an Issue anyway. https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/ thanks

[hesreallyhim]

actually another question is why are they skipping releases in the CHANGELOG, ~~does the changelog only document public-facing updates?~~ Actually, if there's a release the changelog should show it, even like "internal refactor" or something, this is bad practice IMO

This needs to be addressed ASAP imo.

Users are left in the dark to figure out updates by themselves which is not good development practice. Especially when auto-updates are de-facto enabled and destructive changes such as the bug fixed in 1.0.31 are a possibility. https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/blob/21cf5c2293f4e0c517320d585589b85e29fb9c7f/CHANGELOG.md?plain=1#L3-L5

The semantic versioning scheme is currently untrustworthy too, as 1.0.28 was a backwards-incompatible change (the move from ~/.claude to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/claude) yet update was only in the patch version.

While I appreciate the immense amount of effort in development, the governance and quality control aspects of the project seems to be lacking in the moment.

The semantic versioning scheme is currently untrustworthy too We do not guarantee semantic versioning for our version numbers. Each version simply represents a new release (usually once a day, sometimes more).

why are they skipping releases in the CHANGELOG No specific reason. We try to keep it up to date with noteworthy changes but may not be able to keep it perfectly up to date. You can assume that versions without changelog entries have nothing noteworthy (e.g. minor bug fixes like https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/2200).

[MarcinOrlowski]

Please do not release without entry in changelog - its dev tool and i guess majority would like to know what changed regardless its minor or major change.

PS: Can you also datestamp releases?

@dicksontsai thank you for the reply. I'm not sure I'm convinced, since a changelog isn't the same thing as holding a press conference, it doesn't matter if the release is just a small fix. I think a bigger value would be that people would feel more trust in the application, and not feel sometimes like it's shifting all the time, which undermines confidence in the reliability of a developer's workflow.
