why do i need to update the app so i can see changes. Whats the point of a change log then? I have auto updates off cause it a hassle to revert back to an earlier version if I dont like the changes. I know for a fact the ig update is for their new stupid map feature and AI shit. I will not update unless it stops working completely. Is it so hard to say what specific bug was fixed and what exactly do you mean by performance. why cant it be detailed like this

    Maybe this didn’t come across from my example but my point was that a lot of changes are internal, highly technical, housekeeping, etc and unintelligible without proprietary knowledge of the entire codebase and a full code diff. It’s not going to be the benefit you think it is, and it is not reasonable to expect a full diff with every release - unless you want to go use open source software for everything.

    If you want to add your desire to the list of pie-in-the-sky things that would be ideal to have in life, fine, but it’s not practical or useful in reality. Even the publishers who appear to be doing what you want are not telling you everything. There is always an undercurrent of technical housekeeping. And sometimes that’s ALL there is.
