Webpack-cli: Missing release notes / changelog for 3.x

[robcresswell]

There are no entries in the Releases tab or CHANGELOG for version 3.x. Any chance of some details in there so we can figure out what the breaking change was?

HI, have a look at my comment here: https://github.com/webpack/webpack-cli/pull/448#issuecomment-394172842

There's no breaking changes if you're using webpack without any features like init migrate etc.

Sorry for my stupidity, but this seems a little vague; if you are using init or migrate, what has changed? This isn't documented anywhere. It might be worth adding something to the changelog Releases page manually too, so you don't have others constantly opening issues asking for changelogs.

[evenstensberg]

If you read the blog post, there's a more elaborating writing there

[robcresswell]

I appreciate that, but can we not just stick to the usual formats like release notes and changelogs? Parsing those is one thing, hunting for "some blog post" every time a JS lib posts a breaking change is kinda excessive, IMO. In the current state, it's just not explained in the repo unless you try and understand the code.

[evenstensberg]

Yep, will do that. Thanks for the explaination and elaboration @robcresswell

[robcresswell]

Thanks @ev1stensberg, I really appreciate that

Looks like we’re still missing changelog entries for v3.0.0; I ran into a situation where I wanted to see if I should upgrade, and finally landed here, leading me to the other issue & the blog post.

[evenstensberg]

My bad, I’ll draft a release when I get the time

[evenstensberg]

Here's the release https://github.com/webpack/webpack-cli/releases/tag/v3.0.0. We used a auto-commiter and publisher in early v.3 and we had some trouble with versioning. Sorry for the inconvinience

[jeffbyrnes]

Thanks @evenstensberg! All good; versioning is hard, and auto-versioning harder still.

[evenstensberg]

Yep and people we’rent happy about having to update their dependencies that often. Send me a message if you have any additonal questions!
