Suggestion: Add changelog/release notes for add-ons website for what changes between versions of add-ons.
See:
https://web.archive.org/web/20180515075 ... /issues/47
It would be great to have changelog between add-ons versions. Developer off add-on could be documenting changes in each version.
I can create issue for repo if Moonchild think this feature would be possible for add-ons website.
Off-topic:
Tobin sabotage to project was terrible.

That's the job of the addon author
How do you expect the browser developers to know what changes have been made in addons, or did you think that everything here is provided by them?

I think win7-7 is talking about giving add-on developers the ability in the add-ons website to add a changelog for every add-on release, similar to how AMO handles it in the past, which is visible in the individual add-on page and in the Add-ons Manager when checking for updates. He's not asking for browser developers to add the changelog themselves for every add-on.
For comparison of the add-on releases page:
APMO vs.

Yes. Option for add-on developers to add in changelog/release notes in add-on website what is changing in each version. Similar how AMO in past had such option for add-on developers to add release notes for each version of add-on. Version information had changelog visible for current version. Also all versions had changelog for each version.

The add-ons site software is actually FOSS just like Pale Moon is.
It's a PHP/SQL setup, the repo for it is
https://repo.palemoon.org/MoonchildProductions/phoebus
Since Tobin was our PHP person, further development on it will likely be entirely dependent on external contributors to that repo. I have some knowledge of the language and can fix existing things or write simple scripts for websites to do basic processing/selection, but implementing new features in Phoebus like asked is likely going to be beyond me.
