588740 - Provide link to changelog

Status: RESOLVED INACTIVE

(Toolkit :: Add-ons Manager, enhancement)

Description

[Michael Monreal [:micmon]]

It would be very helpful if there was an easy way to access a changelog from within the addons manager. Right now we have to go to AMO and hope that a changelog is provided there (which is not the case most of the time)

Changelogs could either be packaged with the extension (some guideline would be needed for this) or accessed via AMO (support for providing changelogs would have to be implemented there)

You can currently view the last version's changes under Recent Updates, but it would be nice to easily access the entire list somewhere if available.

AMO already provides support for this, though, I think we need a policy to not allow editors to push new versions live if they leave it blank.

Dave and Justin, would that require an update of the API?

Yes, it would.
