Publish a Detailed Change Log

[patrick_digan]

I would love to see a detailed change log to help when I encounter issues after upgrading from one version to the next. For concrete examples, I've come across these issues recently:

1) Files saved to %TEMP% were displayed to the end user in the 10.0 but not 10.1 when running in the gallery. 

2) The cross tab in 10.1 would run with a warning if you had column heading of "p_d" and "p d" where the space in the latter item is changed to a _ and then one of them is renamed with a 2 at the end ("p_d" and "p_d2").  In 10.5 you now get a warning and an error and the workflow stops. I've attached a sample workflow.

I'm all for bugs getting fixed and the improvements not always being backwards compatible, but I struggle with some of these when I can't reference a detailed change log. For some context, I've also attached a change log from some other software I used in a previous life. Anytime that a change in coding could affect past results, there was a note in the change log to identify these changes to the end user.

Would very much appreciate a verbose change log.

I recognized the change in the CrossTab as well, it let one of my flows stopp with an error :(

I think there is another change to add to your list:

The path where the word statistic file for the Fuzzy Match is saved, was changed from

a local directory : C:\Users\MaxMueller\AppData\Local\Alteryx\bin\RuntimeData\FuzzyMatch

to a non local: C:\Program Files\Alteryx\bin\RuntimeData\FuzzyMatch
