Please add the changelog to track mod changes

I mean the current implementation does not show it in the game

yea that's the problem, this mod mirrors an existing mod and it's just a huge mess to keep the changelog in sync as well as referring to version numbers of the original mod whilst also incrementing them on my end so I can push changes independently of him, i might revisit how this mod mirrors/functions in the future but for now im afraid it'll stay like this.

also the recent update fixed a bug that shouldn't even have been possible to begin with when you look at the code, didn't effectively change a thing.

I mean just the format. You broke something, so it just doesn't show up in the game.

Try to figure it out, maybe fix its format.

If the issue is about how to track versions with a higher mod: try just multiplying the sub-version (x.x.YYY) by 100 or 1000 - for changes to the origin mod.

Example:
Origin mod fix: 1.0.0
Your mod pulls changes: 1.0.0
Fix into your mod: 1.0.1 ... 1.0.999

Origin mod fix: 1.1.0
Your mod pulls changes: 1.1.0
Fix into your mod: 1.1.1 ... 1.1.999

Origin mod fix: 1.1.1 — (a.b.c)
Your mod pulls changes: 1.1.1000 — (a.b.[c x1000])
Fix into your mod: 1.1.1001 ... 1.1.1999 — (a.b.[c x1000 + your-sub-version]) — your-sub-version:= 0... 999

multiplying the number would technically not make it on order, what factorio needs is #.#.#-<dev version number>

also, if the changelog format here is incorrect, so would it have been in the repair turret mod.

FYI The sub-version should be in the range [0...65535]. In most cases, you are more likely to shift the minor version than to exceed this limit

yes, the versions won't be the same, but they will be sequential.

oh, lets tell the original mod maintainer too =)

I've created the thread there. https://mods.factorio.com/mod/Repair_Turret/discussion/656b0d654ba8ff7affc356b9

a while back i just so happened to have indexed all invalid changelogs on the mod portal, i just didn't think to check my own mods:

"Repair_Turret": "invalid changelog file, error on line 159, duplicate Date: line or duplicate Version: line\n",

"Repair_Turrets": "invalid changelog file, error on line 196, duplicate Date: line or duplicate Version: line\n",
