Summary
Publish a changelog and adopt a consistent release template so Laravel Omni has a clear release history and repeatable release notes as it moves toward 1.0.
Why
The repository does not currently have a changelog or an obvious release-note template. That is manageable very early on, but it will get harder to reconstruct history once the package starts shipping regular milestones.
A small amount of release process now will make later releases easier to publish and easier for users to trust.
Current State
Observed gaps:
- no
CHANGELOG.md in the repository
- no documented release-note template in the repo
- no tagged releases visible locally yet
- the roadmap now proposes a steady pre-
1.0 release cadence
Proposed Scope
Changelog
- add a
CHANGELOG.md
- choose a structure, for example Keep a Changelog style or a simpler semver-oriented format
- include an
Unreleased section
- document how new entries should be added for future changes
Release template
- add a reusable release template for GitHub releases
- define the core sections for each release, such as:
- highlights
- added
- changed
- fixed
- breaking changes or upgrade notes
- testing/compatibility notes
- make sure the template works for both pre-
1.0 and future stable releases
Process
- document a lightweight release workflow for maintainers
- decide whether changelog entries are updated per PR or during release prep
- align the release notes format with the roadmap milestones and semver expectations
Acceptance Criteria
- the repository contains a changelog with an
Unreleased section
- the repository contains a release template maintainers can reuse
- there is a short documented process for keeping releases consistent
- future milestone releases can be published without inventing the format each time
Nice To Have
- seed the changelog with an initial entry describing the package's current baseline
- add a short release checklist to reduce missed steps during publishing
