# Brok UI block: Changelog Timeline (`changelog-date-rail`)
A release / changelog timeline with sticky date markers on the start rail and an optional image per entry. Composes the badge primitive for the version tag.
Brok UI is a Laravel Blade registry. `ui:add` copies this block into the app as plain Blade the app owns; it composes installed `<brok:*>` primitives and semantic design tokens.
## Install
```bash
php artisan ui:add blocks/changelog-date-rail
```
## Render it
```blade
<x-blocks.changelog-date-rail />
```
## Props
- `overline` (string, default `Changelog`)
- `heading` (string, default `What's new`)
- `subheading` (string, default `Every release, improvement and fix — newest first.`)
- `entries` (mixed|null, default `null`)
## Use when
- Publishing a release timeline with sticky date markers on the start rail and an optional image per entry.
- Composing the badge primitive for the version tag on each timeline entry.
## Avoid when
- Use changelog-version-rail for a rail-plus-category-tag timeline, or changelog-cards for a card-grid changelog instead.
## Rules
- Render the installed block with `<x-blocks.changelog-date-rail />` and pass data through its props; edit the copied file only for structural changes.
- Keep the semantic design tokens (`bg-background`, `text-muted-foreground`); never swap in raw colour utilities.
- Keep the `data-slot` attributes and the logical (start/end) spacing so the markup still mirrors under `dir="rtl"`.

Working in Claude Code, Cursor or Codex? Give the agent the whole registry through the MCP server or the Brok UI skill.
Guidance
Use when
- Publishing a release timeline with sticky date markers on the start rail and an optional image per entry.
- Composing the badge primitive for the version tag on each timeline entry.
Avoid when
- Use changelog-version-rail for a rail-plus-category-tag timeline, or changelog-cards for a card-grid changelog instead.
Anti-patterns
- Do not replace semantic props with conflicting utility classes.
- Do not remove labels, focus styles, or state attributes.
Usage
Render the block as a component, passing data where useful:
<x-blocks.changelog-date-rail />
Built from primitives
This block composes installed <brok:*> primitives and semantic design
tokens only — it does not reimplement any primitive. Re-theme it (light, dark, admin, customer) by
editing CSS variables; flip the preview to RTL to confirm it mirrors.
