Hi Travis Pflanz, we do the same detailed changelog for premium, if there is anything customer related. But since most of the new features/bug fixes happens in free plugin, there is not much to mention in the premium changelog. To be specific, in the last couple of premium releases, the only changes were typos, refactors, updated tests and dependencies. Nothing worth mentioning to the end user (we also don't mention these in the free plugin).

Ján Mikláš: I think even those minor updates are worth mentioning. Mentioning it exactly how you just did only takes as much time as typing out "Improved: minor changes and fixes."
When I'm trouble-shooting a bug or trying to anticipate a potential conflict, I look through changelogs. "Improved: Fixed typos" changelog update means I don't need to look at that plugin for potential conflict. "Improved: minor changes and fixes" means it could be, because I don't know what type of "changes and fixes."
Just my 2 cents. Thanks.

Travis Pflanz: I see what you mean. It's a bit more complex due to our release process, but I understand it could be useful when troubleshooting. We'll try to be more specific in the future.
