ChangeLogger
RUP Changelogger was created as we needed an in-house change log output shortcode, just in case anything happens to our current solution. It uses remote access to text files to add the changelog.
Since it was created, all changelogs on this site now use this by default
The below changelog is actually generated by RUP ChangeLogger, it is loading the text file from a GitHub Repo via RAW format so it is a text file
Version 2.0
Version 2.0 introduces label-less text blocks, code blocks, and advanced release note styling.
Example
Text:
Your release note content goes here.
URLs such as https://example.com/docs are linked automatically.
EndText
