A changelog is a chronological list of important changes users can reference as an application or service expands. Logs explain what features are added, which are changed or adjusted and what those changes do. They sometimes provide explanation or instruction. Logs are useful for preparing your user base for scheduled downtime, and giving your most loyal users something to look forward to.
Black Friday sales are not just for brick-and-mortar retailers anymore. In 2017, retail store visitors on the biggest shopping day of the year dropped four percent. Meanwhile, mobile and online Black Friday sales rose 17 percent last year, with customers spending almost $8 billion. The entire weekend (Black Friday through Cyber Monday) brought in almost $20 billion in online sales.
