Changelogs
What I miss most on PA.com is a quick link to the changelog of every newly released application. Often, and with Mozilla always, it is a PITA to find the changelog on the software's homepage.
No Pita. ;)
It's on Mozilla's Thunderbird homepage, right under the download link ("Versionshinweise" on the german page). If you want more details, just follow the "Various fixes and performance improvements"-link on the page that opens.
AFAIK it has been the same since many versions.
So, in short:
"Lern more about Mozilla Thunderbird" -> "Versionshinweise" -> "Various fixes and...". I think that's a reasonable afford compared to maintaining changelog-links on every news page.
-edit-
Sorry, it's probably "security fixes" as this is the ESR version.
Nope, sorry.
Nope, sorry. I just tried again to get from here to the changelog of FF ESR 10.0.6. No way to succeed! Of course, I found the changelog already some days ago, as always via a really awkward search with a search engine. But I had to check several websites and blogs given in the search results till I found the proper changelog. I remember I had similar difficulties with the standard (not ESR) versions to get the really very latest changelog (not of a recent major version). As PA.com is an important download site (even if the files are hosted on soureforge), I think it should also offer a quickly accessible link to the newest changelogs of any new release on PA.com (especially as it offers all kinds of links for any release, but just no changelog link).
Changes
For projects that move their changelogs around, we aren't going to hunt them down and add them into every release announcement. For any that have them in a consistent location, we can add a link. Only a very small percentage of users look at changelogs. For ESR, basically every changelog will read: these X bugs were fixed and these Y security issues were patched.
Could be.
Only a very small percentage of users look at changelogs.
Could be (at least if one sees that no one seems to have mentioned or missed them yet), but I'm not so sure about that. I like to think that users on a portable software site are a bit more conscious users ;). But thanks for the feed-back.
