I really like the MELPA model of packaging directly from git. It solves the problem of forgetting to release something -- just merge a PR and you're done. It also makes version number bumps much less important. You could go even further in a statically typed language and also figure out when breaking changes occur.

Today I learnt that Emacs 28 shipped a context-menu-mode! https://oylenshpeegul.gitlab.io/blog/posts/20230129/ This seems quintessentially Emacs: deeply hackable, but building UI features in an order very different to the mainstream.

Are there any package managers that treat changelogs as a first class concept? I end up looking for a CHANGELOG.md or a CHANGES.txt in the source code repository every time. The lack of standard prevents package hosting services being able to show changes.
