Release notes: the drumbeat that says what changed and what to do.

Every ship classified, every note in three parts: what changed, why it matters, what you need to do, saying nothing when it is nothing. The small stuff batches into a monthly digest, same day every month.

Release notesThe drumbeat · 20 Aug 2026

04 · The digest, and the full treatment
The monthly digest

Posts where the users already are: the WhatsApp group. Three lines per item, always the same day of the month. Consistency is the entire trick.

Breaking changes · six rules, held ready
  1. 190 days notice, minimum
  2. 2Affected accounts contacted personally
  3. 3Migration guide before the announcement
  4. 4Dated timeline: announced, deprecated, removed
  5. 5Never buried in a list
  6. 6A deprecation register, kept
05 · The finding
No release note has ever been published. The first digest's audience is already sitting in the WhatsApp group.
06 · What can't be known
Consistency cannot be shown in a specimen, only kept, month after month.
The breaking-change pack waits for the first real one. Custody or pricing will be it.
Every claim in a note enters the drift run's surface list from the first digest onward.
