Missing release documentation or change log

[tenkiller]

Since v5.4.0, there have been no documented releases or an added CHANGELOG. This repo is on v5.5.2 apparently with no mention of added features, optimizations, or breaking changes. Am I missing something? I do not have the time to sift through commits to discern what changed. I cannot comfortably upgrade from v5.4.0 without it. What happened?

Nobody contributed the documentation. @tenkiller Could you please have a log at the commmit history and write them down?
We just need the documentation for 5.5 relaease as we do not document bug fixes release.

@pokoli You documented release v5.4.0. I'm confused about why you didn't do the same for every release afterwards? You made most of the commits yourself.

@tenkiller Maintainer's life is hard sometimes, so one needs to priorize.

TBH If you are really interested on having the CHANGELOG it will be great to contribute it back helping the project.
I do not think it will take more time to write them than the one you already invested here complaining.

If you want something done well, do it yourself.

I understand that maintaining an open source project well is hard. And it's unfortunate you think what I'm asking for is "complaining." I believe it's commonplace to have such an expectation for a popular package downloaded millions of times a week. If you're going to take the time to push and publish a change to the repo, I don't think it's too much to ask to click a button to create a new Release in Github and click another button to Generate Release Notes. 🤷‍♂

@tenkiller Release notes are not generated, they are written by people (normally maintainers).
If you take the effort to write them down, then I will click the new Release button and include them.
If you do nothing to fix the issue, you are just complaining.

This is my last message in the issue, if you do not make any effort I will not do any effort to answer your compalints.

You and I do not agree. That's fair. You chose to maintain this project, not me. Taking an adversarial tone with anyone that questions you isn't a good sign for the future of this project. Maybe you should do better. Good luck to you. 👋
