Release notes.

Release notes, far from being an afterthought after releasing changes, are an opportunity to let users know that your app has changed and how it could affect them.

It's important to keep your audience in mind when writing release notes. While most users won't read them, those that do take the time will appreciate your effort. Those that take the time to do so tend to be the more committed and enthusiastic users so a nod to them every now and then could go a long way.

Some important things to keep in mind when writing your notes:

• Avoid jargon, use plain language that an average user would understand
• Be sure to mention which users will be impacted by the change
• Keep them short, you don't have to get into the nitty-gritty details, just the tl;dr
• If the users needs to do something on their end after the change, mention that as well
• Include any relevant links to documentation or discussions that led to the changes
