API changelogs

For repository-backed collections, Evlio uses available Git history to show API-related changes with author and timestamp information.

A completed repository scan associates available history with files backing discovered endpoints. The resulting feed depends on the history and source files available to that scan.

Rebuilt from git on every scan

Open a repository-backed collection's changelog to review recent entries and their affected endpoints. Use the source references to inspect the underlying change.

Example: review a changed order response

A changelog entry shows a change to the file defining GET /orders/{orderId}. Open the associated source change and compare the response schema with your consumers' expectations. If a field was renamed, review affected contracts for drift and decide how to communicate and release the change.
