Changelog

Use the Feedjolt changelog to publish a public what's-new feed. Write and schedule entries, promote shipped posts in one click, and share updates over RSS.

The changelog is your public "what's new" feed. Each entry is short, dated, and (optionally) linked to the original feedback post.

When to use the changelog

Every release. Make it routine. Customers love being told what changed.
Big features only. If your release notes are usually internal-detail-heavy, the changelog is for the user-facing summary.
Don't overuse. "Fixed a typo" doesn't need a changelog entry. Bundle small fixes weekly.

Writing an entry

Dashboard -> Changelog -> New entry. Each entry has:

Title - short and active. "Dark mode" beats "We've added a new theme option".
Body - Markdown. Include screenshots; they make the page scannable.
Version (optional) - v2.4, 2026-04-29, whatever you use.
Status - Draft, Published, Scheduled.
Linked posts - pick the original feedback posts this entry resolves. Linked posts can be auto-marked Shipped.

Promote a post to a changelog entry

When a post moves to "Shipped":

Promote to changelog appears on the post detail page.
Click it.
The title, body, and link are pre-filled. Edit, save, publish.

This is the fastest path: customer gets the "Your post shipped!" notification AND your changelog stays current.

Drafts and scheduling

Save as draft to come back later. Schedule for a future date if your release is on Tuesday but you're writing the entry on Friday.

Drafts and scheduled entries are not visible on the public changelog.

RSS

The changelog has an RSS feed at feedjolt.com/p/{slug}/changelog/rss. Customers can subscribe.

In-app notifications

When a customer who's voted on a linked post sees the changelog, they get a small "1 new" badge on the page. Optional email: configure at Settings -> Notifications -> changelog.published.
