Release your plugin, and your changelog page updates itself. Releasery turns the changelog you already write into a clean, always-current page on your site: newest first, no copy-paste.
What makes Releasery different
GitHub Releases as the source of truth. Releasery reads readme.txt at your latest GitHub Release. Each version gets its exact release date, and unreleased work in your repository never shows early. Private repositories work too, with a read-only token stored encrypted.
Updates the moment you ship. Add a GitHub webhook and the page refreshes as soon as a release is published. Or push each release from your own GitHub Action, so the changelog is only published after your WordPress.org deploy succeeds.
Review before it goes live. Keep new versions as drafts, lock any entry you edit by hand (“Keep my edits”), and trust that trashed entries never come back and that Releasery never publishes or un-publishes an entry you have already handled.
Knows where your changelog is shown. Each source lists the pages displaying it (block, shortcode or Elementor), and “Create page” builds one for you in a single click.
Reads real-world changelogs. It understands * Fixed - … , Added: … , sub-headings like “Bugfixes”, “Release date:” lines and dates in most formats. That covers changelogs written in the styles of popular plugins such as WooCommerce and Yoast SEO.
Connect where your releases live, add the Releasery block (or shortcode) to a page, and every new version appears there by itself.
Sources
WordPress.org plugin : reads the public changelog of any plugin on WordPress.org. No account or token needed.
GitHub repository : reads readme.txt at your latest GitHub Release, with exact release dates. Works with public repositories and, with a read-only token, private ones.
GitHub Actions (optional) : accept entries pushed by a workflow, signed with a secret.
Why Releasery
Lightweight : no build tools, no external scripts, one small stylesheet that follows your theme.
Releasery connects to these services only for sources you add, and only from your server (never from visitors’ browsers).
WordPress.org Plugin API ( api.wordpress.org ) Used for “WordPress.org plugin” sources to read the plugin’s public name, version, last-updated date and changelog. Sent: the plugin slug you entered. When: on each scheduled check and when you click “Check now”. Terms of service · Privacy policy
GitHub REST API ( api.github.com ) Used for “GitHub repository” sources to list published releases and read the readme file at the latest release. Sent: the repository name, the readme path and, if you added one, your access token. When: on each scheduled check, when you click “Check now”, and after a GitHub webhook tells your site a release was published. Terms of service · Privacy statement
No data about your site’s visitors is sent to either service.

Frequently asked questions.
How often does it check for new releases?
Every hour by default. You can change this under Releasery → Settings, or click “Check now” at any time. For GitHub, you can also add a webhook for instant updates (shown on the source’s edit screen).
Why do some WordPress.org versions have no date?
WordPress.org does not publish per-version dates. Releasery dates the current version with its “last updated” date and every new version with the day it appears. Older versions keep no date unless your changelog writes one (for example = 1.2.0 - 14/09/2026 = ). You can also set a date by editing the entry.
Does it work with private GitHub repositories?
Yes. Create a fine-grained personal access token limited to that repository with read-only “Contents” access and paste it into the source. It is stored encrypted and never shown again.
Will a sync overwrite my edits?
Not if you tick “Keep my edits” in the entry’s Release box. Trashed entries are never re-created, and a published entry is never switched back to draft.
Does it slow down my site?
No. Checks run in the background on a schedule; visitors only see the stored entries. The stylesheet is loaded only on pages that show a changelog.
