# Changelog

Add a changelog to the node's `.properties` file for each node version to provide a record of changes for a node.

1. Make sure there's a `.properties` file under `src/main/resources/org.forgerock.openam.auth.nodes` with the same name as your node class.

2. At the end of the `.properties` file, add a changelog property in the following format:

   ```none
   changelog.n.n=changelog text
   ```

   For example:

   ```properties
   changelog.2.0=Updated the node to replace the secretValue attribute with secretLabelIdentifier.
   ```

To retrieve all the changelogs for a node, send a `POST` request to the `realm-config/authentication/authenticationtrees/nodes/node-name?_action=versionInfo` endpoint.

Example response:

```json
[
  {
    "version": "1.0",
    "changelog": "No changelog entry found"
  },
  {
    "version": "2.0",
    "changelog": "Updated the node to replace the secretValue attribute with secretLabelIdentifier."
  }
]
```

Include the node version in the request URL to return the changelog only for the specified node version.
