DeployLog Changelog

Latest updates and improvements

On Pro, you can now set an accent color for your public changelog: open your project's settings, then Changelog Appearance. DeployLog refuses a color too close to its own brand red, and falls back to its default indigo where your color would be hard to read. Chapter 03 of the DeployLog manual shows where the accent appears.

Improved

  • Pro now includes 20 manual generations a month, where a generation is one run that writes a chapter of your manual. Free stays at five a month.

Fixed

  • A manual generation that crashed partway no longer holds one of your monthly slots forever.
  • Re-approving an unchanged chapter that is already merged no longer opens an empty pull request.
  • An approved chapter's status now shows whether its pull request has merged.
  • One invalid subscriber address no longer stops the digest for everyone else.
  • A chapter page shows its title once, and its description in search results and link previews starts at the prose, not the title.
  • An account created with email now gets its organization, so the dashboard can save from the first sign-in.
  • Signing up with an email that already has an account tells you to sign in, instead of promising a confirmation email that never comes.
  • Signing in with GitHub lets you pick which GitHub account to use.
  • The site header wraps on phones, and the footer links stay clear of the widget's floating button at every width.

The changelog widget now works in setups where it used to break:

  • A snippet placed in <head> used to fail to mount. It now waits for the page body.
  • Loading the snippet twice mounts one widget, not two.
  • Safari 13 runs it, and auto theme follows system light and dark changes reliably.
  • All text coming from the API (entry types, versions, project names) is escaped before rendering.
  • Accent colors are validated before they touch your page.

The snippet loads the widget from DeployLog's CDN, so every existing embed picks up these fixes with no change. To add the widget to a new site, copy the snippet from your project's settings, then Widget Embed. Every option is in chapter 04 of the DeployLog manual.

The DeployLog dashboard has a cleaner, more consistent look, and public changelog pages now follow your reader's light or dark setting, so entries stay readable in either.

Also new:

  • The Free plan holds three projects, up from one.
  • A draft's slug now updates when you change its title, until you set your own. Once an entry is published its slug stays fixed, because it is the entry's public address.
  • When AI drafts an entry, it now sees the titles, types and versions of your recent published entries.
  • Signing out of the dashboard ends your session on every device.

Open your public changelog with your system set to dark mode to see the new theme. Chapter 03 of the DeployLog manual covers the public page in full.

The DeployLog CLI now takes less typing. Update with npm install -g deploylog@latest.

New

  • dpl is a shorter alias for the deploylog command.
  • New short and long flags for push: -g/--git (--from-git), -a/--ai (--ai-summarize), -T (--type), -P (--publish), and -D (--draft).

Every existing command and flag still works, so nothing you've scripted breaks.

For example, deploylog push --from-git --ai-summarize is now just dpl push -g -a.

Every command and flag is listed in chapter 05 of the DeployLog manual.
