# Changelog Integration - Summary
|
||||
|
||||
## Implementation Complete ✓
|
||||
|
||||
All three requirements from the problem statement have been successfully implemented:
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. ✓ Changelog screen in the app
|
||||
- Created `lib/pages/changelog.dart` - A full-screen page displaying all changelog entries
|
||||
- Accessible via Menu → "Changelog"
|
||||
- Displays versions, dates, and changes in a clean card-based layout
|
||||
- Scrollable list showing complete version history
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. ✓ Latest entry for Play Store uploads
|
||||
- Created `scripts/get_latest_changelog.sh` - Bash script to extract latest entry
|
||||
- Automatically formats output with bullet points
|
||||
- Usage: `./scripts/get_latest_changelog.sh`
|
||||
- Output is ready to copy directly to Play Store release notes
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. ✓ Changelog dialog on first launch with new version
|
||||
- Created `lib/widgets/changelog_dialog.dart` - "What's New" dialog
|
||||
- Automatically shown when app opens with a new version
|
||||
- Tracks last seen version in SharedPreferences
|
||||
- Only shows once per version update
|
||||
|
||||
## Files Created (8 new files)

|
||||
3. `lib/widgets/changelog_dialog.dart` - What's New dialog widget
|
||||
4. `scripts/get_latest_changelog.sh` - Play Store extraction script
|
||||
5. `test/changelog_test.dart` - Unit tests for parser
|
||||
|
||||
### Documentation:

|
||||
7. `CHANGELOG_INTEGRATION.md` - Technical implementation details
|
||||
8. `CHANGELOG_VISUAL_GUIDE.md` - Visual walkthrough with diagrams
|
||||
|
||||
## Files Modified (5 files)
|
||||
|
||||
1. `lib/pages/requirements.dart` - Added changelog dialog auto-display logic
|
||||
2. `lib/utils/settings/settings.dart` - Added version tracking methods
|
||||
3. `lib/widgets/menu.dart` - Added "Changelog" menu item
|
||||
4. `lib/pages/device.dart` - Updated to use async setApp with await

||||
5. `pubspec.yaml` - Added CHANGELOG.md as bundled asset
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Features
|
||||
|
||||
### Changelog Parser
|
||||
- Parses CHANGELOG.md into structured entries
|
||||
- Extracts version, date, and changes for each entry
|
||||
- Handles main bullet points and sub-bullet points
|
||||
- Supports three main methods:
|
||||
- `parse()` - Load entire changelog
|
||||
- `getLatestEntry()` - Get latest version only
|
||||
- `getLatestEntryForPlayStore()` - Format for Play Store
|
||||
|
||||
### Version Tracking
|
||||
- Uses SharedPreferences to store last seen version
|
||||
- Key: `'last_seen_version'`
|
||||
- Automatically updated after showing dialog
|
||||
- Compares with `PackageInfo.version` to detect updates
|
||||
|
||||
### User Experience
|
||||
- Dialog appears automatically on version change
|
||||
- User can dismiss with "Got it!" button
|
||||
- Full changelog accessible anytime via menu
|
||||
- Clean, readable card-based layout
|
||||
|
||||
### Developer Experience
|
||||
- Simple script for Play Store release notes
|
||||
- Well-tested parser with unit tests
|
||||
- Comprehensive documentation
|
||||
- Minimal code changes to existing files
|
||||
|
||||
## Testing
|
||||
|
||||
Run tests with:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
flutter test test/changelog_test.dart
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Tests cover:
|
||||
- Parsing multiple entries
|
||||
- Handling sub-bullet points
|
||||
- Empty content edge case
|
||||
- Single entry edge case
|
||||
- toString formatting
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage Examples
|
||||
|
||||
### For End Users:
|
||||
1. Update app → "What's New" dialog appears automatically
|
||||
2. Menu → Changelog → View full version history
|
||||
|
||||
### For Developers:
|
||||
1. Edit CHANGELOG.md following existing format
|
||||
2. Run `./scripts/get_latest_changelog.sh` for Play Store notes
|
||||
3. Changelog automatically appears in-app after users update
|
||||
|
||||
## Implementation Approach
|
||||
|
||||
The implementation follows the principle of **minimal changes**:
|
||||
- No external dependencies added
|
||||
- Uses existing packages (flutter, package_info_plus, shared_preferences)
|
||||
- Integrates seamlessly with existing menu system
|
||||
- Leverages existing app structure (Settings, RequirementsPage)
|
||||
- Follows existing code style and patterns
|
||||
|
||||
## Code Quality
|
||||
|
||||
- ✓ All code follows Dart conventions
|
||||
- ✓ Proper error handling (try-catch blocks)
|
||||
- ✓ Null safety throughout
|
||||
- ✓ Unit tests included
|
||||
- ✓ Documentation provided
|
||||
- ✓ Scripts are executable and tested
|
||||
|
||||
## Next Steps
|
||||
|
||||
The feature is ready to use. After this PR is merged:
|
||||
1. Users will see the "What's New" dialog on their next update
|
||||
2. Developers can use the script for Play Store uploads
|
||||
3. Users can browse full changelog history in the app
|
||||
|
||||
All requirements from the problem statement have been successfully implemented!
