I’d be interested to know how many beta testers there are. I’d guess most are users in this forum or on the slack channels, in which case most features have screenshots uploaded within the first 5mins
For me changelogs are a nice to have, but not essential. 99% of the time monzo do a lot more than most.
It was a late release on a Friday. I’d already left work, been to the pub, and gone home. I’m sure they were just looking to do the same
Change logs are essential to me. And it’s very frustrating when companies don’t do them.
I want to know what I’m installing and what has changed - even if it is “bug fixes and performance improvements”. All I can deduce is that what I just installed is exactly the same as the previous version.
I don’t begrudge anyone for wanting to leave work after a long week but a release isn’t complete if there isn’t a descriptive change log to go along with it. That’s my experience of software development!
I think that this was absolutely the right decision. Things go wrong sometimes, but I’d rather have the release on the Friday - with a honest and humorous covering note - than wait until Monday.
I have no time for these clowns, I’d hate to see how they would have survived in the 70’s/80’s when we could say and do what we liked without the offendotrons that we have now.
