Sky Changelog Notifier enhances WordPress automatic update notification emails by including the actual changelog for each updated plugin or theme. This keeps you informed about what changed in each update without having to visit the WordPress.org repository.
Key Features:
<ul>
<li>Automatically fetches and includes changelogs in update notification emails</li>
<li>Works with both plugin and theme updates</li>
<li>Adds emoji indicators (✅🚀❌) to plugin details modal showing version status</li>
<li>Fetches from tagged versions for accuracy, with automatic fallback to trunk</li>
<li>Comprehensive caching for optimal performance</li>
<li>WP-CLI support for testing</li>
<li>Full compatibility with Easy Updates Manager (EUM) and other notification plugins</li>
<li>Locale-agnostic email insertion — works on any localized WordPress site</li>
</ul>
How It Works:
When WordPress automatically updates plugins or themes, this plugin:
<ol>
<li>Fetches the changelog from the plugin/theme’s readme.txt file</li>
<li>Extracts the specific version’s changelog</li>
<li>Appends it to the update notification email</li>
<li>Caches results for 1 hour to improve performance</li>
</ol>
Plugin Modal Enhancement:
When viewing plugin details in the WordPress admin, you’ll see: 
* ✅ Green checkmark – Your version matches the latest 
* 🚀 Rocket – You’re ahead (development version) 
* ❌ Red X – Update available
Compatibility:
Works seamlessly with: 
* Easy Updates Manager 
* Easy Theme and Plugin Upgrades 
* Other update management plugins 
* Uses high priority (999) on standard WordPress filters 
* Hooks into <code>automatic_updates_complete</code> for EUM and similar plugins that bypass WordPress email filters 
* Locale-agnostic insertion using structural markers instead of translatable strings

Before updating a plugin, a backup of the current version is created. If visual differences are detected in the automatic before/after website check, the user can revert to the previous plugin version with a single click.
Daily, as well as before and after each update, the entire website undergoes visual checks to ensure it remains visually consistent and unchanged after updates.
Following every update and scheduled automatic check, you’ll receive an email with the results, keeping you informed and allowing you to review and take action if necessary.
