Changelog

A change log (English Changelog ) is a protocol or a record of changes to a project, such as a software or a website. The word Changelog is an inherited from English portmanteau word, which is from engl. composed for change and change log for log.

Most open source projects include a changelog file in their distributions. This file is often CHANGELOG CHANGES, HISTORY, RELEASE -NOTES or rarely simply NEWS. It is a plain text file. Especially in the Windows technology sector these files is sometimes the file extension. Attached txt.

With a log file, a changelog has basically nothing in common - they are indeed both are text files; while the former is used to log events or operations focused mostly each row represents an event that contains the latter text, which is not intended for machine processing, but should be designed human-readable.
