Sometimes a format or transformer that I use gets updated. Currently, I can’t figure out what exactly changed, why it changed, or whether the change is relevant to me. It would be nice when a component has a changed, to be able to discover the details of the change.

Hi @carsonlam,

 

You read/saw this too, right? There is a change log already, but not sure if it's useful/visible enough to you. As a general rule of thumb, I only upgrade a transformer in "mission-critical" workspaces when it says "improved performance" in the change log. Otherwise, the common wisdom "if it ain't broken, don't fix it" applies! ;)

That's a basic rule but I often make exception. When I do more than changing parameters in a transformer or adding a couple of them I usually upgrade all. It may be confusing when the same transformer works slightly differently at different parts of the workspace.
