Roslyn: Where are the release notes or changelog?

[rhythmnewt]

Attempting to migrate from 1.3.2 to 2.0.1 and not finding any release notes or change log.

@srivatsn and/or @jaredpar both of you have done this in the past - does one of you want to a description of API changes/additions since 1.3.x?

I started a page to explain the versions of packages.
In this case, 1.3.2 means Visual Studio 2015 update 3 (C# 6.0), while 2.0.1 means Visual Studio 2017 version 15.0 (C# 7.0).

The language features added in C# 7.0 are documented in the language history, and now also on the docs site. The C# 7.0 announcement blog post also provides an overview.

On the API side, I don't think there is any friendly changelog available. The best I can find is the commit which cemented the public API for 2.0 as "shipped".

The wiki page about the Nuget packages is definitely helpful. Maybe a link to it could be added to the README if a separate CHANGELOG.md isn't going to be maintained?

[jcouv]

I added a link to the description of the packages themselves.

@jcouv, this article points that the version 1.3.2 corresponds to the VS 2015 Update 3, but actually VS 2015 Update 3 contains Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.* v1.3.1 in the %vs14installdir%\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies and packages of versions 1.3.2 can be used in the limit cases inside the VS 2015 Update 3. For example they have issues with System.Collections.Immutable
