Openchangelog
Render Markdown changelogs into a customizable website
Openchangelog transforms changelog Markdown files into a dedicated changelog website that is easy to configure and self-host. It supports common changelog formats (single CHANGELOG.md or one file per release), offers search and RSS, and can sync releases from GitHub or local folders.
Key Features
- Renders keep-a-changelog or per-release Markdown into a styled changelog site
- Full-text search with category filtering for quick discovery of release notes
- Automatic RSS feed generation for new releases
- Password protection for private or internal changelogs
- Custom domains, light/dark/system themes, and colorful release tags
- GitHub integration to sync changelogs directly from repositories
- Next.js embed support to insert changelog content into external sites
- Built for containerized deployments with a straightforward YAML configuration
Use Cases
- Publish product release notes as a dedicated, searchable changelog website
- Serve internal release communications protected by a password for teams
- Embed recent changelog entries into a marketing or docs site via Next.js
Limitations and Considerations
- Focused specifically on changelogs; it is not a full-featured CMS or WYSIWYG editor
- Content must be provided as Markdown files (repository or folder-based workflows)
Openchangelog is a lightweight solution for teams that want a polished changelog site driven by Markdown and CI workflows. It emphasizes simple configuration, GitHub integration, and easy deployment for publishing release notes.
