Best Practices

​
Track Your Changes

Maintain a version history for your app:
Example Version Tracking
-- In your app's main module
local AppInfo = {
    Name = "MyAwesomeApp",
    Version = "1.2.0",
    LastUpdated = "2025-10-26",
    Changes = {
        "Fixed crash when opening settings",
        "Added dark mode support",
        "Improved performance by 30%"
    }
}
Use semantic versioning (major.minor.patch) to communicate the type of update.
