Highlight Changed Features / Change Log

[Lighthammer 91]

Per request from Luke, I am breaking up the suggestions from this thread:

https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/80816-cumulative-suggestions-from-lighthammer-end-of-2019/

 

I'll add additional information for each topic as needed

 

Highlight Changed Features / Change Log

Sometimes its hard to track what has actually changed from version to version. While I'd expect this to be a more complicated ask, it would be REALLY nice if we could get a feature similar to Window's "Highlight New Programs" feature. I'd probably argue that this should be a premium feature initiated by a plugin.

Closely related, I think we really should have a TXT of the change log downloaded or updated with each new version and accessible from the Dashboard Panel in the Administration Panel.

Hi there, have you explored the front page of your server dashboard?

Yep.

 

I realize you guys have the <Latest News> section added, but what I was looking for is more of an actual change log.

Here's a great example:

https://changewindows.org

 

Additionally, I think the changelogs need to be something physically found on the server. New versions of Emby have certainly blown up firewalls a number of times making going and grabbing those updates impossible unless you start poking around.

 

News section is great. But a dedicated Changelog --- really needed.

You mean like this?

Yea, that would be perfect if we can have a direct link to it from the control panel (or fetch it and apply the CSS for the server).

Would be nice if you could very easily see the changes before/after a patch is applied too.

Have you explored the version number on your server dashboard?
