  Power Query has no changelog of its own. Changes ship through two dated
  Microsoft surfaces: the Microsoft Fabric "What's new" page (rolling, dated,
  covers the Dataflow/Power Query item and its REST API) and the Power BI Desktop
  change log (monthly, covers the Power Query editor and connector releases).
  The Power BI blog carries the narrative announcements and is mirrored into
  blogs/ in this repo.
