Changelog info to F-Droid

[aha999]

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Currently, there is no visible window with the latest changes when you open your app's page in F-Droid.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add changelog text into a window above the description when you open the fdroid app repo.

Some tips:

F-Droid looks for metadata in the app’s source repo. The supported formats for this metadata are borrowed from popular projects that automate uploading this metadata to Google Play Store.

The one in your example corresponds to Fastlane Supply and is documented here. All formats supported by F-Droid are listed here

Additional context

This would be a great option to quickly see the new changes and many apps use this method.

@aha999 Thanks for the request! Yes, I'll add this. I believe F-Droid will pull it on the next release.

Here's the directory structure:

└── fastlane
    └── metadata
        └── android
            ├── en-US
            │   └── changelogs
            │       ├── default.txt
            │       ├── 100000.txt
            │       └── 100100.txt
            └── fr-FR
                └── changelogs
                    ├── default.txt
                    └── 100100.txt

Very nice! thanks. where did you find the general directory structure ? This would have been handy if i make the same issue at the next app that i like that doesn't have this...

@aha999 It's actually under the "Changelogs (What's new)" section you hyperlinked in your first comment, so thanks for that 😃:
