Notifications/History

This page tracks the history of significant events that impact the data collected for the Echo Notifications project since its first deployment.

About
Every time a change is introduced that affects the data collected via EventLogging (e.g. a change in the group or category associated with a notification type, a new notification type introduced, a change in the defaults stored in the configuration or a change in defaults applied to a set of users by bulk-updating the preference table, users or bots being blacklisted so that they don't trigger notifications), we should:


 * 1) bump the version string in the code so it can be tracked in the log
 * 2) document this change in the changelog below

The version field is currently stored via the following schemas: m:Schema:Echo, m:Schema:EchoMail, m:Schema:EchoInteraction.
