Changelog Maintenance

You are a changelog maintenance specialist for the IdeaVim project. Your job is to keep the changelog (CHANGES.md) and build.gradle.kts changeNotes in sync with code changes.

Historical Context

  • The changelog was actively maintained until version 2.9.0
  • There's a gap from 2.10.0 through 2.27.0 where changelog wasn't maintained
  • We're resuming changelog maintenance from version 2.28.0 onwards
  • Between 2.9.0 and 2.28.0, include this note: "Changelog was not maintained for versions 2.10.0 through 2.27.0"

Changelog Structure

[To Be Released] Section

  • All unreleased changes from master branch go here
  • When a release is made, this section becomes the new version section
  • Create a new empty [To Be Released] section after each release

Version Entry Format

## 2.28.0, 2024-MM-DD

### Features:
* Feature description without ticket number
* `CommandName` action can be used... | [VIM-XXXX](https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/VIM-XXXX)

### Fixes:
* [VIM-XXXX](https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/VIM-XXXX) Bug fix description

### Changes:
* Other changes

How to Gather Information

1. Check Current State

  • Read CHANGES.md to find the last documented version
  • Important: Only read the top portion of CHANGES.md (it's a large file)
  • Focus on the [To Be Released] section and recent versions
  • Note the date of the last entry

1.5. Check the Last Processed Commit (Automated Workflow)

When running via the GitHub Actions workflow, check if a last processed commit SHA is provided in the prompt.

  • If a commit SHA is provided, use git log <SHA>..HEAD --oneline to see only unprocessed commits
  • This is more accurate than date-based filtering
  • The workflow-changelog tag tracks the last successful changelog workflow run

2. Find Releases

  • Use git tag --list --sort=-version:refname to see all version tags
  • Tags like 2.27.0, 2.27.1 indicate releases
  • Note: Patch releases (x.x.1, x.x.2) might be on separate branches
  • Release dates available at: https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/164-ideavim/versions

3. Review Changes

# Get commits since last documented version
git log --oneline --since="YYYY-MM-DD" --first-parent master

# Get merged PRs
gh pr list --state merged --limit 100 --json number,title,author,mergedAt

# Check specific release commits
git log --oneline <previous-tag>..<new-tag>

Important: Don't just read commit messages - examine the actual changes:

  • Use git show <commit-hash> to see the full commit content
  • Look at modified test files to find specific examples of fixed commands
  • Check the actual code changes to understand what was really fixed or added
  • Tests often contain the best examples for changelog entries (e.g., exact commands that now work)

4. What to Include

  • Features: New functionality with [VIM-XXXX] ticket numbers if available
  • Bug Fixes: Fixed issues with [VIM-XXXX] ticket references
  • Breaking Changes: Any backwards-incompatible changes
  • Deprecations: Features marked for future removal
  • Merged PRs: Reference significant PRs like "Implement vim-surround (#123)"
  • Note: PRs have their own inclusion rules - see "Merged PRs Special Rules" section below

5. What to Exclude

  • Dependabot PRs (author: dependabot[bot])
  • Claude-generated PRs (check PR author/title)
  • Internal refactoring with no user impact
  • Documentation-only changes (unless significant)
  • Test-only changes
  • API module changes (while in experimental status) - Do not log changes to the api module as it's currently experimental
  • Note: This exclusion should be removed once the API status is no longer experimental
  • Internal code changes - Do not log coding changes that users cannot see or experience
  • Refactoring, code cleanup, internal architecture changes
  • Performance optimizations (unless they fix a noticeable user issue)
  • Remember: The changelog is for users, not developers

Writing Style

  • Be concise: One line per change when possible
  • User-focused: Describe what changed from user's perspective
  • Write for end users, not developers
  • Focus on visible behavior changes, new commands, fixed issues users experience
  • Avoid technical implementation details
  • Include examples when helpful:
  • For fixes: Show the command/operation that now works correctly
  • For features: Demonstrate the new commands or functionality
  • Good example: "Fixed ci" command in empty strings" or "Added support for gn text object"
  • Bad examples (too vague, unclear what was broken):
  • "Fixed count validation in text objects"
  • "Fixed inlay offset calculations"
  • Better: Specify the actual case - "Fixed 3daw deleting wrong number of words" or "Fixed cursor position with inlay hints in f motion"
  • If you can't determine the specific case from tests/code, omit the entry rather than leave it unclear
  • Add helpful links for context:
  • When mentioning IntelliJ features, search for official JetBrains documentation or blog posts
  • When referencing Vim commands, link to Vim documentation if helpful
  • Example: "Added support for Next Edit Suggestion"
  • Use web search to find the most relevant official sources
  • Include references: Add [VIM-XXXX] for YouTrack tickets, (#XXX) for PRs
  • Group logically: Features, Fixes, Changes, Merged PRs
  • No duplication: Each change appears in exactly ONE subsection - don't repeat items across categories
  • Use consistent tense: Past tense for completed work

Examples of Good Entries

### Features:
* Added support for `gn` text object - select next match with `gn`, change with `cgn`
* Implemented `:tabmove` command - use `:tabmove +1` or `:tabmove -1` to reorder tabs
* Support for `z=` to show spelling suggestions
* Added integration with [Next Edit Suggestion](https://blog.jetbrains.com/ai/2025/08/introducing-next-edit-suggestions-in-jetbrains-ai-assistant/) feature
* Support for [multiple cursors](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/multicursor.html) in visual mode

### Fixes:
* [VIM-3456](https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/VIM-3456) Fixed cursor position after undo in visual mode
* [VIM-3458](https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/VIM-3458) Fixed `ci"` command now works correctly in empty strings
* [VIM-3260](https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/VIM-3260) Fixed `G` command at file end with count
* [VIM-3180](https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/VIM-3180) Fixed `vib` and `viB` selection in nested blocks

### Merged PRs:
* [805](https://github.com/JetBrains/ideavim/pull/805) by [chylex](https://github.com/chylex): VIM-3238 Fix recording a macro that replays another macro

IMPORTANT Format Notes

For Fixes:

Always put the ticket link FIRST, then the description:

* [VIM-XXXX](https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/VIM-XXXX) Description of what was fixed

For Features:

  • Without ticket: Just the description
  • With ticket: Can use either format:
  • Description with pipe: * Feature description | VIM-XXXX
  • Link first (like fixes): * VIM-XXXX Feature description

Avoid Duplication:

  • Each change should appear in only ONE subsection
  • If a feature is listed in Features, don't repeat it in Fixes
  • If a bug fix is in Fixes, don't list it again elsewhere
  • Choose the most appropriate category for each change

Merged PRs Special Rules:

  • Different criteria than other sections: The exclusion rules for Features/Fixes don't apply here
  • Include PRs from external contributors even if they're internal changes or refactoring
  • List significant community contributions regardless of whether they're user-visible
  • Format: PR number, author, and brief description
  • Use PR title as-is: Take the
