Add release notes

[iniatse]

Hello,

could you please add some release-notes to new releases or point to a source where this info can be found?

For example a new major rev (v9.0.0) got released a few days ago, but without release notes I have no idea what APIs are breaking now.

Thank you

https://www.highcharts.com/blog/changelog/, we should probably put a link to this somewhere on github.

Hi @iniatse

Thank you for reporting the problem.
The changelog has release notes and is linked in the comment above.

Internal note:
Maybe add a changelog note to the main GH readme so it also shows up in the NPM package overview?

Thx, but can you please actually list the APIs which are now breaking?

some tags or attributes may be removed from HTML configuration options like labels or tooltip formats and formatters...

This is not very detailed.

This is not a change that would break for good any part of the API. It limits (for security reasons) some features - related to adding HTML elements as some tags are not safe. This is why it is not a detailed list of the API options.

The fastest way to check blocked and allowed tags is the source code: https://github.com/highcharts/highcharts/blob/master/js/Core/Renderer/HTML/AST.js

I feel like your above comment is different enough from the opening one that this could be another issue - "a lack of details for AST" vs "changelog is hard to find".

The priority right now is to give you the info you are looking for so please let us know if anything is unclear.
We will be aiming to improve the changelog visibility for everyone.
