changelogUrl ​
The plugin’s changelog URL.
The URL should begin with https:// and point to a plain text Markdown-formatted changelog. Version headers must follow the general format:
## X.Y.Z - YYYY-MM-DDwith the following possible deviations:
- other text can come before the version number, like the plugin’s name
- a 4th version number is allowed (e.g.
1.2.3.4) - pre-release versions are allowed (e.g.
1.0.0-alpha.1) - the version can start with
v(e.g.v1.2.3) - the version can be hyperlinked (e.g.
[1.2.3]) - dates can use dots as separators, rather than hyphens (e.g.
YYYY.MM.DD) - a
[CRITICAL]flag can be appended after the date to indicate a critical release
More notes:
- Releases should be listed in descending order (newest on top). Craft will stop parsing the changelog as soon as it hits a version that is older than or equal to the installed version.
- Any content that does not follow a version header line will be ignored.
- For consistency and clarity, release notes should follow keepachangelog.com, but it’s not enforced.
- Release notes can contain notes using the format
> {note} Some note.{warning}and{tip}are also supported.
