When there is a new update, a new changelog is available.
The changelogs are availables for us here
It is an entry that describe the changes made, new features and bug fixed of an update.
Provides a clear listing of new features that are now availables.
They also helps to maintain existing code by adapting to changes.

join(): allows concatenating two SIMD values
More features:
- Tensor has new
fromfile()andtofile()methods to save and load as bytes from a file. - Mojo now supports compile-time keyword parameters
fn foo[a: Int, b: Int = 42]()
- Keyword parameters are also supported in structs
- The parameters for InlinedFixedVector have been switched.
- It now looks more like SIMD, let's make changes to existing codes to reflect the improvement, another benetits of changelogs.
- The benchmark module has been simplified and improved
- ...more exciting features
