Please start a changelog or record changes on github releases

[samuelcolvin]

mypy seems fairly unusual among mature projects in not maintaining a changelog. The closest alternative seems to be the blog http://mypy-lang.blogspot.co.uk/.

It would be great if mypy could maintain a changelog file or put details of changes on github releases prior to pypi releases.

This is very useful both when checking for compatibility before upgrading to a new version of mypy; it's also a powerful way of telling people about new features.

In addition to the blog, we've got https://github.com/python/mypy/blob/master/docs/source/revision_history.rst, which is also at http://mypy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/revision_history.html.

Is there some particular information about releases that these are missing that you think would be useful?

I tried for some time to find this, it works be useful if you could:

• Link to this from your readme
• Make it available in a format that works with pyup

Personally I find the carefully curated blog should satisfy the desire for a changelog -- if you want more check out the revision history.
