**TLDR:** Move the changelog, currently called ["hotfixes to the stable channel"](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/blob/master/docs/releases/Hotfixes-to-the-Stable-Channel.md), to the root directory of Flutter/Flutter and rename it to CHANGELOG.md before the Q3 release cutoff. This PR accomplishes the following: 1. Renames 'Hotfixes-to-the-stable-channel' to CHANGELOG.md 2. Moves CHANGELOG.md to Flutter/Flutter root. 3. Update references to 'Hotfixes-to-the-stable-channel' to CHANGELOG.md. --- #### Background Flutter has historically kept documentation on wiki pages in the Flutter repository. Recently, we executed a large-scale migration of our wiki into a `docs` folder within flutter/flutter. #### Proposal I propose relocating the current changelog, which is called ["hotfixes to the stable channel"](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/blob/master/docs/releases/Hotfixes-to-the-Stable-Channel.md), to the root directory of the Flutter/Flutter repository and renaming it to CHANGELOG.md. This change aims to improve the visibility, accessibility, and consistency of our documentation processes. #### Benefits 1. **Unify Dart and Flutter Processes:** This move aligns Flutter’s changelog management with Dart's practices. As the release manager for both Dart and Flutter, this unification will streamline the processes and ensure consistency across projects. #### Timeline I would like this proposal **approved or denied before the Q3 release cutoff** so it may be available within the stable branch. --- > [!NOTE] > This proposal aims to improve our workflow and documentation standards. I am open to feedback and further discussion on how we can best implement this change.
This wiki is primarily aimed at engineers building or making contributions to Flutter.
If you are new to Flutter, then you will find more general information on the Flutter project, including tutorials and samples, on our Web site at flutter.dev. For specific information about Flutter's APIs, consider our API reference which can be found at the api.flutter.dev.
If you want to know what we're likely to do in the future, our roadmap may be of interest.
If you intend to contribute to Flutter, welcome! You are encouraged to start with our contributor guide, which helps onboard new team members. It points to the most relevant pages on this wiki. You are also invited to join our Discord server.
