Release Changelog by Code Atlantic

Turn GitHub releases into a changelog your customers actually read.

You already write release notes on GitHub. Release Changelog syncs them into structured WordPress entries you can review, enrich, and publish on your schedule—then renders an accessible public changelog with dynamic blocks and editable templates.

Release Changelog

v1.12.0 · August 27, 2026

⟳ Core
Fixed
  • Public layouts now keep their intended scale in themes that use a reduced root font size.
  • EDD Download mapping now uses a clear product selector and remains optional when EDD is inactive.
  • Repository and label editors now use compact color and icon controls with live previews.

How it works

Draft first. Shape the story if you want. Publish when ready.

01

Ship the release

Publish on GitHub as usual. The signed, retry-safe workflow sends the exact release evidence to WordPress.

02

Shape the story—or don’t

Keep the synchronized notes as-is, or add editorial copy, screenshots, labels, and richer formatting without losing the source.

03

Publish when ready

Use the draft as an optional editorial checkpoint, then publish a fast, accessible changelog in your own WordPress theme.

Features

Everything between your repo and your customers

GitHub and webhook sync

Map approved release sources to products and ingest published releases through scoped, retry-safe authentication.

Draft-first, publish-ready

Every sync creates a protected draft. Review it, enrich it, or publish it as soon as it is ready—your workflow decides.

Extensible change labels

Start with nine accessible presets, then add, remove, rename, recolor, or re-icon labels to match your release vocabulary.

Thirteen focused blocks

Compose headers, source notes, metadata, filters, counts, timelines, change groups, recent releases, and Query Loop layouts.

Optional EDD relationships

Relate releases to Easy Digital Downloads when you use it—without making EDD a dependency for content, sync, or display.

Accessible by default

Semantic markup, visible focus rings, reduced-motion support, and resilient color contrast.

Blocks

Compose the changelog your theme deserves

Thirteen focused blocks, a Release Query Loop variation, starter patterns, and editable templates. Three real compositions are shown below.

Multi-product changelogs

One release library. Every product gets its own view.

Publish each release once, keep one combined company archive, and give customers a focused changelog for the product they use.

Combined archive

Everything shipped, in one chronology

The main archive combines every mapped product. Code Atlantic currently publishes Release Changelog here, and the same archive is ready to grow with the rest of the catalog.

Open the combined archive
Product-specific view

A focused changelog from the same releases

Set the product filter and the archive becomes a shareable, product-specific feed. This link uses the real Release Changelog mapping—no copied posts and no second source of truth.

Open the filtered view
Block-level scope

Put the right updates on each product page

Timeline and filter blocks can be limited to allowed product slugs. Add a repository mapping and that product becomes available to the same controls and reusable layouts.
