Changelog or Release Notes Anyone?
-
As it was brought up several times by now, the last time being this (IIRC) month ago, am I just too dense to find a change-log or release notes on given versions, the most recent one or at all?
Why are change-logs/release-notes kept spread over the forum, posted on the blog – being made available (if at all) on a variety of places instead a static one? Why is it made such hard to keep oneself informed over changes?
I know one goes with the flow by artificially reduce every information given to a stylish presented white space while declaring your customer under-age these days, but can we for the sake of information get a single, un·chan·ging place where one can find a given change log aka release-notes for a given release please?!

C'mon, why there ain't any release-notes in the first place on a static place – as they were published in the beginning? Weren't change-logs of initial versions just published on https://update.vivaldi.com/update/X.x/relnotes/Major.minor.build.html?Pretty much every serious developer does that. As a matter of facts it's quite numbingly to crawl the blog, reddit or the general web for a given change-log if you want to install it. I may note here that's somewhat strange to be in the need for asking about release-notes prior to install a given software-package in the first place … It's just absurd though.

What links and from where (!?) does link towards this very site?
I've spend about an hour to find any change-notes on the 1.13 stable one and gave up eventually.See, all I want to know is, if the bug is fixed which broke BBCode-forms since a while now as Vivaldi keeps spamming BBCode all over the form completely un-replicable and for whatever reasons – sometimes it's working, most of the times it's not. Same as the utmost Forum-braking bug which caused to return to the previous site upon using ⌫ within the very BB-form.
You know, staying that questionable while displaying this level of secretiveness in terms of release-notes ain't getting you any new numbers of sophisticated users. It's a bloody change-log after all, right?

Stables:
Unfortunately not so easy to find.
But it is useful to check https://vivaldi.com/blog/teamblog/ for Stable informations.To expect your supposed (new) users to do so is somewhat … I don't know, really.
It's just a joke and we both know that.Perhaps the devs could make a link to a Stable changelog on the Download page. I asked them today.
A direct link to the very release-notes under https://update.vivaldi.com/update/X.x/relnotes/Major.minor.build.html please, yes. That's the least one have to do if you claim to bear any kind of respectability on your own while claiming you're standing within the footprints of former Opera 12.x users or so-called Power-users in general …

In the meantime you can use this copy-pasted change log collection
