Posted initial condensed changelog for Gotham

Marry X(BMC)mas! I now posted an initial condensed changelog list here at XBMC v13 (Gotham) changelog just to help anyone get started. I am not sure if all the features and functions that I posted actually made it into Gotham before the feature freeze or not, or if some of them was bumped to the next of future version of XBMC, and some things that I did put it have probably been sorted into the wrong category. However what I am sure of is that I know I missed many things and that list is not complete, even as just a condensed changelog, so please, any assistance in improving is would be very much appreciated Gamester17 (talk) 13:54, 23 December 2013 (EST)

Tips for maintaining release changelogs

Hiya all! If any of you guys are looking to volunteer assisting with maintaining a condensed changelog then may I suggest that you utilize the XBMC article on Wikipedia and/or XBMC's own Wiki here on wiki.xbmc.org

XBMC condensed changelog is available on Wikipedia today as release history listed under the Releases section (click "[expand]" to see the list):

Most of that information has been copied the Changelog (for a full changelog) and Releases (for condensed changelogs history) articles on wiki.xbmc.org or vice verse:

Before the changelogs wiki.xbmc.org was listed per point release:

Best source today is the closed pull requests, and you also have all non-pull repository checkins under Timeline on XBMC's Trac site:

There used to be a condensed changelog available as Roadmap on XBMC's Trac but that has not been maintained for a long time:

Some more information on the new Frodo features also look to be available in the xbmc.org wiki today, and hopefully this will become a tradition to follow in future releases as well:

Personally I think it is mostly uninteresting to keep a condensed changelog for each nightly or even alpha releases, as the monthly blog posts on xbmc.org work better for those. Regards // Gamester17 (talk) 14:00, 23 December 2013 (EST)
