Show release notes after hunk update
Author: benvinegarCreated Aug 31, 2026Updated Aug 31, 2026
Problem
After hunk update succeeds, the command confirms the installed version but does not provide a direct path to learn what changed.
Proposed behavior
Print a clickable plain URL to the exact release notes after a successful update, and potentially when Hunk is already current.
Interactive example:
◇ Updated to 0.21.0
● Release notes https://hunk.dev/changelog/0.21/#v0-21-0
│
└ DonePlain-output example:
Updated hunk to 0.21.0.
Release notes: https://hunk.dev/changelog/0.21/#v0-21-0The changelog groups releases by major/minor series and exposes an exact-version anchor, including prerelease anchors such as #v0-21-0-beta-0.
Considerations
- Keep the URL visible and stable in piped/CI output.
- Prefer a plain URL over terminal-only hyperlink escape sequences.
- Decide whether
hunk update --checkshould include the same link for the latest available version. - Cover stable releases, prereleases, explicit downgrades, and already-current output.
