That’s super useful. Thanks, @tessus.
@Gamegenorator, one thing I’m really liking about this community is that the devs are pretty open to people doing extra projects loke this.
Yes, Thank you @tessus
@bedwardly-down According to the .js file:
(Desktop|Mobile|Android|iOS[CLI): (New|Improved|Fixed): Some message..... (#ISSUE)
We’d be looking for the platform, and what kind of commit it is. That’s not bad.
Where would we host it?
I'm not sure I understand. Laurent uses this script to create the changelogs for the gh releases.
I'm almost certain @Gamegenorator is asking where we can post our findings that users here can find to make it easier.
If that's the case, I'm up for suggestions. I definitely know I can quickly set up a Discord channel to make it easier to communicate and whatnot.
We have one for Joplin. @foxmask has all the details. Since he's also the one who posts the new releases here in the forum, maybe we should include him in this discussion.
I’m up for that. I was about to @ him but didn’t want to overstep my bounds with that.
What I mean is that Laurent is writing the commits to provide detailed information, bedwardly-down and I were talking about posting our own version of the changelog for more common users to understand that focuses what directly impacts the user.
Laurent uses the js script when he is writing the detailed logs, so while it file is helpful for us to determine what he we are looking for when writing our own changelog, I don’t see it being much more helpful than that.
That or you both were talking about automating both changelogs in some way. Am I missing something?
From what i can tell, the commits are written by the users that contribute them. @laurent just uses GH’s api to generate the changelogs from what they submit.
Yes, but we would either need to manually go through the commit titles and write the second changelog ourselves, or add onto the current js and have Laurent start writing commit titles for both the detailed and non-detailed changelog, and I don’t think option 2 is very feasible.
We’d have to manually do it since there would be no automated way to make something like that work. That’s where getting on Discord and chatting about what’s changing and where the changes are being made would benefit us; that way we can decide what is really useful for users to know and what is backend stuff that most people outside of the ones that are really into fixing things and whatnot need to know. We don’t even have to talk about every change made and instead focus heavily on making sense of commits that have pretty vague information about what they actually are. The main goal is to keep users from going up in arms about something not working the way they think it should if it’s not directly affecting them and whatnot.
TLDR; simple things like making the user experience here like what we’re talking about will hopefully take a load off the devs’ backs and help make supporting users and implementing new features more manageable.
Ah, Ok, I get what you mean,
I’m fine using Discord,

Forgive me but it’s Midnight where I am, I’m going to go to bed, we can pick this up in the morning.
It’s 1 AM here and I really should have laid off the coffee. Have a good night. My Discord Username is: bedwardly-down#8491
I’m sorry for all the typos. I make quite a few on my mobile devices from the keyboard, autocorrection snaffus and typing too fast. Here, I just am tired and typing way too fast with almost no coherence to anything. Ha

Not sure why you believe this to be the case, but quantum computer will not invalidate encryption. Quantum computing might speed the process of breaking a particular encrypted text, but it does not render the concept of encryption moot.
