# Pending changelog entry directory
|
|
|
|
This directory contains changelog entries that have not yet been merged
|
|
to the changelog file ([`../ChangeLog`](../ChangeLog)).
|
|
|
|
## Changelog entry file format
|
|
|
|
A changelog entry file must have the extension `*.txt` and must have the
|
|
following format:
|
|
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
Security
|
|
* Change description.
|
|
* Another change description.
|
|
|
|
Features
|
|
* Yet another change description. This is a long change description that
|
|
spans multiple lines.
|
|
* Yet again another change description.
|
|
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
The permitted changelog entry categories are as follows:
|
|
<!-- Keep this synchronized with STANDARD_CATEGORIES in assemble_changelog.py! -->
|
|
|
|
API changes
|
|
Default behavior changes
|
|
Requirement changes
|
|
New deprecations
|
|
Removals
|
|
Features
|
|
Security
|
|
Bugfix
|
|
Changes
|
|
|
|
Use “Changes” for anything that doesn't fit in the other categories, such as
|
|
performance, documentation and test improvements.
|
|
|
|
## How to write a changelog entry
|
|
|
|
Each entry starts with three spaces, an asterisk and a space. Continuation
|
|
lines start with 5 spaces. Lines wrap at 79 characters.
|
|
|
|
Write full English sentences with proper capitalization and punctuation. Use
|
|
the present tense. Use the imperative where applicable. For example: “Fix a
|
|
bug in mbedtls_xxx() ….”
|
|
|
|
Include GitHub issue numbers where relevant. Use the format “#1234” for an
|
|
Mbed TLS issue. Add other external references such as CVE numbers where
|
|
applicable.
|
|
|
|
Credit the author of the contribution if the contribution is not a member of
|
|
the Mbed TLS development team. Also credit bug reporters where applicable.
|
|
|
|
**Explain why, not how**. Remember that the audience is the users of the
|
|
library, not its developers. In particular, for a bug fix, explain the
|
|
consequences of the bug, not how the bug was fixed. For a new feature, explain
|
|
why one might be interested in the feature. For an API change or a deprecation,
|
|
explain how to update existing applications.
|
|
|
|
See [existing entries](../ChangeLog) for examples.
|
|
|
|
## How `ChangeLog` is updated
|
|
|
|
Run [`../scripts/assemble_changelog.py`](../scripts/assemble_changelog.py)
|
|
from a Git working copy
|
|
to move the entries from files in `ChangeLog.d` to the main `ChangeLog` file.
