Is your feature request related to a problem?
Currently, there is no changelog for the C++ client. New contributors therefore have to pore over the codebase to determine which project features have been implemented. When looking for ways to contribute, they are forced to scroll through the issues list without any context as to which ones are priorities for the community.
Describe the solution you'd like
Adding a changelog similar to the ones present in the Java and Python clients (under the "Release Schedule" sections) gives new contributors a sense of how mature the project is and which features are currently under development. They also see which issues are slated for development either in the present of the near future and can focus their efforts there.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Tagging issues with priority or building out a feature completeness matrix will mitigate the current issues but still fail to outline the project's overarching trajectory which is important for contributors as they can gauge where and when their expertise will be most impactful.
