Release notes are not published for every version, since many updates just contain bug fixes. The published notes are just for highlighting new user-facing features and occasionally calling out major bug fixes.

We intend to have a published changelog soon though!

For what it's worth, I think logging and reporting bug fixes is critical communication for a software development tool, particularly one that creates and modifies source code.

Asserting that particular bugs are fixed allow users to know:

  • yay, no more $bug!
  • oh no, i'm still experiencing $bug even though $vendor thinks it's fixed
  • i need to watch out for regressions that might be related to the fix for $bug

@ashwin-ant I'm in complete agreement with @peterkaminski and was thinking the same.

I would like to see as much transparency as possible in the updates, but even a general indication of the bugs that were fixed would be great for all the reasons Peter stated.

You are heard! We'll find a way to make this great.
