Release notes

Browse what changed in each fman release without leaving the app.

You can read fman's release notes inside the app, newest release first, without opening a browser.

Usage

  1. Open the command palette and run Release Notes.
  2. The list shows every bundled release, newest first, labeled <version>_<build> with its date as a hint. Type to fuzzy-filter, like any palette list.
  3. Pick one. Its title, <version>_<build> — date, and notes fill the active pane, the same way View file does. Escape, Enter or Backspace closes it and returns to the file list.

Command

Command name Palette label Also found by Default key
show_release_notes Release Notes show release notes, changelog, what's new none (palette only)

Bind it like any other command:

{ "keys": ["Ctrl+Alt+R"], "command": "show_release_notes" }

Notes

  • The entry is hidden when there is nothing to show. If this build ships no release notes, the command does not appear in the palette at all — no dead entry, no empty picker.
  • Newest first, sorted numerically by version and then build number, so 1.7.5_10 sorts above 1.7.5_9.
  • In your language where available. The notes are shown in the system's detected language when that release has a translation for it, and in English otherwise. The date hint in the picker is always the English one.
  • Always read-only. There is no file on disk behind this text, so the viewer never offers Edit file here.
  • Notes are plain text — the title, then <version>_<build> — date, then one bullet per entry.
