We track Discord-side changes so the atlas can be updated deliberately. This is a curated selection, not a mirror of the official change log — always treat that as authoritative.

[!NOTE] Verified against the primary change log (2026-07-11) Every entry below was reconciled against the official change log: the titles are quoted as they appear there and the dates match. One correction was made in this pass — see the DAVE row.

Correction: DAVE / non-E2EE voice deprecation

An earlier draft listed this as a 2026-03-01 change-log entry. The change-log entry is dated 2025-09-02 (“Deprecating Non-E2EE Voice Calls”); 2026-03-01 is the enforcement cutoff stated within it, not the publication date.

[!NOTE] Verified From 2026-03-01, clients and third-party apps/bots that connect to voice without DAVE support can no longer participate in calls (DMs, group DMs, voice channels, Go Live). Sources: Deprecating Non-E2EE Voice Calls · Bringing DAVE to All Discord Platforms · Minimum Client Version Requirements for Voice Chat.

Ongoing theme — Social SDK for games

The Social SDK ships on its own cadence (recent entries: Discord Social SDK 1.9.17379 on 2026-06-30, 1.9.17228 on 2026-06-25, 1.9.16441 on 2026-06-03), adding console support (Xbox/PlayStation), lobbies, and cross-platform friends. See the official Social SDK release notes.

How we keep this current

• Cadence: re-check the official change log on a regular interval and add developer-relevant entries here, most-recent first.
• Verification: each entry links to the atlas page it affects; when we act on an entry we bump that page’s lastVerified.
• Scope: we include API/SDK/policy changes; we skip purely end-user cosmetic updates unless they change developer behavior.
• Distinguish publication vs enforcement dates — the DAVE row is the cautionary example: quote the change-log date, and call out any separate effective date.
• Automation (live): scripts/changelog-watch.mjs fetches this change log and diffs the most-recent entries against a committed baseline (research/changelog-snapshot.json). The weekly Change-log watch GitHub Action opens a triage issue when new entries appear. After adding an entry above, run pnpm changelog:update and commit the refreshed snapshot to clear it. See the backlog.
