SOLVED CPANEL-40956 - What's new in 102.0.18? I don't understand what CHANGE LOG is...

[Benjamin D.]

Hi, I wanted to ask this question since last year, but forgot. I'm asking it now. I noticed over the last year or two that the change log is very often a copy/paste of the previous version. Why is that? And what's truely new in 102.0.18 if 100% of that version's change log is a copy/paste of 102.0.17? Is 102.0.18 EXACTLY the same as 102.0.17? What's the point of that update then?

See attached screenshot. Every single line of 102.0.18 is in 102.0.17. What's new in 102.0.18 then?

Hey there! You can always check the public change logs here, as those get updated in real-time as we release content:

102 Change Log | cPanel & WHM Documentation

This document lists the cases and bugs worked on during the version 102 release cycle.

docs.cpanel.net

I created case CPANEL-40956 with our developers so they can get that adjusted - thanks for pointing this out!

cPRex. another thing that organizationally bothers me.

On this page:

Change Logs | cPanel & WHM Documentation

docs.cpanel.net

cPanel changelogs on the left are reverse chronological so the latest is at the top. Great.

It would be nice if on the right, the EasyApache 4 Change Logs were the same. Instead they show the oldest first and you have to scroll down further and further as new release years come out to see the latest.

 

[cPRex]

That's a good point. I'll send that idea over to the team!

 

[Benjamin D.]

So, more than 1 month later, it's still the same garbage? See attached?

 

[cPRex]

Thanks for sharing that - I've let the team know, but most likely that case just got tagged to two versions for some reason.

 

[Benjamin D.]

So basically, they really don't care. This change log feature is pointless. I want to know what's new in this release.

 

[cPRex]

It's not that we don't care, the developers just haven't got to that case yet. Since the changelog creation process is fully automated, it's more complicated behind the scenes than just fixing a typo in a text file. I assure you it's being worked on though and in the mean time you can always check the public changelog at 104 Change Log | cPanel & WHM Documentation as that is correct.

 

[Benjamin D.]

104.0.8 ......

 

[kdean]

Comparing it to:

Change Log

It would appear that it's not duplicating forward to the new version, but duplicating backward to the previous version. So the latest changes appear accurate but for some reason also added to the previous version.

 

[cPRex]

We're planning to have this resolved in version 106, but I'll post updates once I get them.

 

[cPRex]

Update - at this time, we plan to remove the changelogs from inside the WHM interface and provide a link to the specific version of the public documentation (Change Logs | cPanel & WHM Documentation) that the server is on to avoid this confusion in the future. This change is currently planned for version 108, but I'll continue to update this thread as I get more details.

 

[Benjamin D.]

Meanwhile... 104.0.10

 

[cPRex]

@Benjamin D. - I would still expect this to be broken in version 104, since I posted the update won't get applied until version 106.

 

[cPRex]

Update - this is being worked on and moving through the QA process at this time.

 

[cPRex]

Update - this will be resolved in 108.0.0.

 

[Benjamin D.]

Well that's nice, thanks.

 

[cPRex]

Sure thing!

 

[Benjamin D.]

Just want to point out that almost 1 year later, it's still the same:

 

[kdean]

Note they said they were resolving it for 108 and have done so. Your screen still shows you running 106. Sure they should backport the fix, but maybe just use:

106 Change Log | cPanel & WHM Documentation

This document lists the cases and bugs worked on during the version 106 release cycle.
