The <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/jetpack/" rel="ugc">Jetpack</a> plugin by Automattic does something sneaky: it auto-activates new Jetpack modules. Instead of allowing you to opt in to new modules, Jetpack cheerfully activates them without your permission. These modules can change how your site works and looks.
Manual Control puts a stop to that unwanted behavior. It prevents auto-activation of new Jetpack modules.

Manual Control for Jetpack

Jetpack auto-activates new modules, without asking your permission. This plugin stops that.

The 20th of June 2009 was the day when changelogs found their way into readme.txt files of plugins in the WordPress plugin repository. Thanks to Peter Westwood und Mdawaffe a new version of the readme.txt example file was available online that had an example of the changelog in action.
For many many people a changelog is a very important thing; it is all about justifying to your users why they should upgrade to the latest version of a plugin. Changelogger shows the latest changelog right on the plugin listing page, whenever there’s a plugin ready to be updated.
Note: The inline changelog on a plugin update shows up if the plugin author added a changelog section based on the new <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/about/readme.txt" title="readme.txt example file" rel="ugc">readme.txt example file</a> to their plugin’s readme file.
