Change log and release announcements

Feature Proposal
1

I propose that at the bottom of the F-Droid/Play Store/App Store description of the app to include a change log to indicate what has changed from the last version, which new features, bug fixes, security fixes there are.

The Delta Chat Blog can also do release announcements. I can see that some blog posts already coincide with new releases, but these are not clearly marked as release announcements, not every new release has a blog post, and these blog posts seem to focus only on selected improvements instead of listing all changes.

Changelogs can be found here:

The changelog in the store’s sometimes only get highlights or a subset of the changelog that is most interesting for regular users.

Thanks, those links are helpful.

Maybe I have missed something but I have never seen any changelog in the F-Droid store, not even a “only highlights” subset of the changelog.

I can see there are some other apps in the F-Droid store which have a highlighted box in the app description which says “What’s new in this version” and it lists the major new features and bug fixes, but I have never seen anything like this for Delta Chat. I think this would be very helpful to include.
