I noticed that the "Changes" tab on curse.com displays my repository's revision history. Is there a way I can edit that so it's a bit more user-friendly? Does that tab interact with the Pages system like the "Description" tab uses the "main" page? Thanks.
Some authors offer more "user friendly" changelogs by simply including a list of recent changes at the top of the description page.
Generally speaking though, if you're only making releases when something actually changes, users don't need to worry about what was changed and it doesn't matter anyway. :p
dunnar, i belive that the "changes" tab is just the "changelog" attribute from the .pkgmeta. By Default it's a std output from the repo type. Tho with the .pkgmeta you can specifiy a custom changelog.
--please note this is just a outright guess, i actually have no idea.
This data is pulled directly from the topmost file on http://www.curseforge.com/projects/{project name}/files/. You can change it by changing the "Change Log" portion of that file.
I beg to differ Phanx. Good users DO read change logs, if there wasn't reason to read them, they wouldn't be created in the first place. There's a reason I take a moment to make nice changelogs for all my addons as I deply them, check them out on WoWI.
1. Go to your project's main site on CurseForge
2. Click on the link "Files"
3. Click on the file that corresponds to the release you want to edit
4. Click on the "Actions:" drop-down box
5. Select "Edit file"
6. Update the "Change Log" text box
7. Click "Save Changes"

I read them too, as well as post "hand written" changelogs for my updates. My point was that most users who find SVN changelogs unreadable shouldn't need to worry about what changed, because authors should only be pushing releases when things actually change that affect users.
