First, it's nigh impossible to learn what's changed in each test release. Second, the new outline format reminds me more of a functional spec than release notes.</p>

<p dir="auto">You are jumping to conclusions here :)</p>
<p dir="auto">I have not changed how the release notes work in general. Each test release will still include only what happened in that specific test release. The exception has just been a few of the latest test releases in which a lot of the actual work has been to rewrite the release notes since the latest public release. It would, of course, be easier to just have included everything from all test release notes, but I wouldn't be surprised if far more than 50% of the content would have been fixes to bugs introduced <em>after</em> the latest public release (which are irrelevant to most users).</p>
<p dir="auto">Going forward, there will be new test releases and those will be summed up in another beta release. Likewise, when ready for a public release I'll likely rewrite the beta release notes.</p>
<p dir="auto">It's not ideal, but most of the time you'll get your short test release notes. And thanks for trying the test releases!</p>

There's no way I can scroll through all that to see what's actually changed. I know a lot has changed since the last public release, but I fear even users not on test releases are going to be overwhelmed by these release notes as written when the next public release occurs.</p>

<p dir="auto">Yes, but there's not really much I can do about that... It would be worse if they got the non-rewritten notes.</p>
