changes -- recent changelog entries

Each line shows when a ship landed (UTC), a stable # number, and a short summary. Newest ships first, listed by # so the numbers run high to low.

How you play
  1. changes            newest 10 (* = new since last visit)
  2. changes new        only unread ships
  3. changes all 25     longer scrollback
  4. changes 2841       full text of that numbered ship
  5. changes catchup    mark all ships read

How you play
  1. Read help changes for the verb card
  2. This page is extra lookup syntax

  Bare changes always shows the **10 most recent** ships (global feed), listed by lookup number. Lines newer than your last full catch-up show a * before the timestamp. Login [NEWS] counts ships you have not listed yet with changes new (including a ship that landed while you were paging). Keep typing changes new until you are caught up, or changes catchup to mark everything read at once. A new player ship gets its # number when the world copyover lands. Discord #news uses the same player numbers.

  changes              last 10 global ships (* = new since your last visit)
  changes all [n]      scrollback (alias: changes list; n up to 100)
  changes <n>          open player changelog #n in full
  changes new [n]      ships since your last visit (alias: changes unread)
  changes unread [n]   same as changes new
  changes ops          staff-only [ops]/[docs]/[easter] ships (GM only)
  changes ops <n>      open staff changelog #n (GM only)
  changes ops all [n]  staff scrollback (GM only)
  changes ops new [n]  new staff-only ships (GM only)
  changes catchup      mark everything read without listing
  changes search <word> [n]  filter summaries by substring (case-insensitive)
  changes detail <ref> full text (timestamp, slug, or #n)
  changes #<ref>       same full-text lookup

  On-duty staff: changes ops for repo/deploy and easter-egg bullets. Those have their own # numbers -- type changes ops 12 to open one, or changes ops all 25 for a longer list.
