@oznu Thanks for your ongoing development and constant update.
A lot of people ( as I can see in the very passionated German Forum http://homekit.community ) love the recent implementation of accessories feature. ❤️👍🏻

One question was asked due to the frequent updates, if it is possible you could give some info when a new version is out, what the changes are. Would be very appreciated.

As always, thanks a lot for your time you are investing and for sharing with the community. 😃

Hi @DJay-X,

Creating a GitHub release and adding notes to it is now a supported method of getting the changelog to show up when updating and can replace the need for a dedicated CHANGELOG.md.

GitHub Release Notes - Shown before update occurs
CHANGELOG.md - Shown after update has happened

I'm doing both in this plugin at the moment but, I think the GitHub release method would be the one to recommend authors support.

Good idea. I've been thinking of the best way to do this for a while, I would like to be able to display the change log in the interface during the update workflow.

Change log implemented. Any updates you install after 3.2.0 will display the changelog in the user interface after installation. The update to 3.2.0 won't display it.

It will also show the change log for any other plugin that has a change log published in the npm package.
