  • "removed" is always also "incompatible". I don't think there is any need for having both.

    I don't particularly like "version" and "date". They're different in the sense that they must (or at least should) always come first, but now look like all the others. It's not a big deal, though. I really think this proposal is much better than the previous. It's good that you considered multiline items too.

    Can the markers be made case insensitive? I think people may like Version or SECURITY.

      I disagree. An addition is incompatible too. There's no harm in being a bit more specific!

      To me, "incompatible" means a change in how things are used: the functionality is still there, only, you'll have to try to achieve your goal in a slightly different manner: for example, using another function, or with a change in parameters.

      If older functionality is no longer available, that's more than just a change.
