No easy way to tell what changed between releases

Hi. I noticed that when 3.0.0 and 4.0.0 were released, they did not contain any release notes. I cannot find a changelog anywhere -- maybe I'm missing it?

According to semver (which most NodeJS packages follow), major version increases like this indicate breaking changes. Did anything break in both of these releases?

We keep our commit messages clean which clearly shows what changed https://github.com/sindresorhus/parse-json/commits/master

Thanks for the quick reply. Something like Meta tweaks isn't clear to me at a glace; I'd have to open the patch to see what it is.

Well, anyway, if that's the approach, it would be helpful to me if you at least included comparison links for each release, like:

I definitely see how using commit messages as a changelog is easier but since there is generally a bit of noise, you could also use something like conventional-changelog to cut out the noise.
