There was a problem hiding this comment.
This does make it possible to find the changelog, which is some sort of an improvement, though it doesn't make it very obvious. Let's merge this, because I don't see a reason not to, but I think the full solution would be an in-app changelog:
-
Either something like Discord's modal on app load, every month or so:
-
Or a Sentry-style expandable list:
This is much more work though, and I'm not sure it's worth the effort at this moment, even though it'd be cool and effective in some way. So, LGTM!
I did make a fix to expand the HelpType, changed the icon from "coffee" to "live" and moved "What's new?" to the top:

I would absolutely love this to be an in-app pop-up modal, though if it's more work for you then it's definitely beyond my reach to PR. It's maybe worth considering as part of the new Changelog project though @corywatilo ? |

Not sure why these tests are failing btw 🤷 |

Problem
This is probably horribly, horribly wrong and broken - but I'm trying to step on toes and can't test it, so 🤷
As per #14378 it would be great if we could tell users, somehow, what new features have launched. Because we ship fast and don't want to send an email every time, add a banner every week, or trust that they check the blog all the time.
So: add a 'What's New?' button to the site app.

Adds a 'What's New?' button to the drop down.

How did you test this code?
I haven't because, for all my attempts and efforts, I still haven't had the product running successfully in a local env yet. Sorry!
