Hi, I would like to request review on dev documentation (the code looks okay but I want to make sure that the usage and necessity of the changelog manifest key is clearly written for add-on authors). Further, this PR provides the foundation to be employed in the add-on store GUI (which I would like to pass on at this time i.e. seeking someone to join the work). Thanks. |

I think that I may try to work on the gui, so that the changelog is shown in the details panel or something, since I've worked previous to on the store gui and I'm very interested in this feature, but I'll wait until this PR is merged. |
