Change Log for Add-Ons missing! - gate1975mlm - 2016-09-13
You used to be able to view the "Change Log" for Ad-Ons but I can not find it in Kodi 17.
Why was this removed?

changelog.txt is now obsolete. Replaced for What's new, go inside addon.xml file.

Ok so if I understand this correctly only the newest changes will now be shown when looking at the information for all add-Ons? It will not be possible to see all changes with each build? All I see right now is "What's New" and a blank space with all Add-Ons I do not even see latest changes. I kind of liked being able to view all the changes with every build so this is kind of a bummer to have that taken away.
O well I am sure I will get used to it and thanks for the info.

Who had this stupid Idea
?? Now it scrolls!!! If the changes are long, it takes ages to come to the end. What a STUPID idea!!

most/many plugin authors also don't adhere to using that news tag, they still use the changelog.txt file
for changes and fixes.
Which mean you will have to dig around in the addons folder like a little leprechaun.
If the news tag is used anyway, and there's more than one line of information, it bleeds over
the description text making both unreadable.At least with the confluence skin that i prefer.
This thing annoys me on a weekly basis.
Not the sharpest light in the christmas tree that had this news tag idea...

Bitch at the addon authors who don't adhere to our standards.
