Crazy Little Thing Called Change: Using Automation to Track Application Change Over Time

Sometimes it can be a daunting task to keep track of what has been done in between releases of an application.  When multiple developers or even entirely different teams are trying to commit features and fixes on the same project, records can be jumbled at best.

This presentation takes a look at one approach that can be utilized to automatically generate a list of changes which can then be used to populate future change requests and release notes or just to keep afloat in a sea of change.
