It lets you organize changes by version, tag them by category, and link to tickets, pull requests, and changesets. The extension groups and sorts changes according to configuration, supporting both simple tags and compound tags that match multiple categories.\n\nThe package is used by SQLAlchemy and related projects. It is marked experimental but appears stable in practice. It depends on Sphinx, docutils, and looseversion, and runs as a pure Python wheel with no compiled dependencies. The extension also supports advanced features like importing changes from multiple files, rendering to markdown, and a command-line tool for gathering per-file changelog entries at release time.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you maintain a Sphinx-based project and want structured changelog markup. The extension is actively maintained, has no security vulnerabilities, and low install friction. The MIT license is permissive. The main caveat is that it is marked experimental and has a small user base, so community support is limited\u2014verify compatibility with your Sphinx version before committing."},"id":"changelog","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/changelog","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/changelog.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/changelog/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-12-20","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"changelog","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Provides simple Sphinx markup to render changelog displays."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":129394,"position":11672,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.6.2"}
