Change-log manager

Version 1.0.0 - 4/21/2018

►Description

• It’s always nice to have a lightweight tool to help you out with your daily-development activities while working on different projects, I found myself stating the changes I make on my projects on different *.txt files, in plain format, it was only a matter of time, till those dozens of files started to stack on each other, making it harder for me to find and/or review them later, I had this tool by my side for quite a while, served its purpose the way I wanted, and here I am sharing it here for anyone who’s interested in either improving it or using it.

►Semantic Versioning

• This is not a new or revolutionary idea. In fact, you probably do something close to this already. The problem is that “close” isn’t good enough. Without compliance to some sort of formal specification, version numbers are essentially useless for dependency management. By giving a name and clear definition to the above ideas, it becomes easy to communicate your intentions to the users of your software. Once these intentions are clear, flexible (but not too flexible) dependency specifications can finally be made, more on this topic here.

►Preview

►Features

• The application is still far from perfect, or maybe not?! both in design and functionality, but with suggestions, it can be improved. You can easily create, open or save your changelogs under a *.log file, you can also export the change-log under HTML, plain text, markdown, BBCode, pawn snippets, JSON, XML, YAML or SQL queries. all of your recent opened change-logs are saved under a file that's automatically created, called “config.cfg”.

Code:

that would be good since it's a grammatical issue if people add more than one feature.

Ma' anti virus is picking this up as a virus, got no idea

[admantis]

I haven't checked the code but this looks good. I'd never use something like this over git or SVN though, those will always be better source control tools.

this tool isn't for sourcecontrol, but for writing changelogs...

[StrikerZ]

Very cool, I'm using it since its release.
Btw, "Save us" should be "Save as"

Might just be desperate call for help, maybe he has been taken hostage and now codes in order to stay alive.

You should add the ability to export as bbcode so people can post changes on here too.
