In the general Release Notes forum.

[+GeoTrekker26]

The coders are busy in the background making changes large and small. Only the most significant feature changes are deemed worthy of a release note.  The rest are left for us to unknowingly beta test. 
 

In the distant past changes were announced and discussed in the forums but the discussion often degenerated into criticisms of esthetics and priorities. (Why is there so much white space? Why do I have to scroll so much? Why did you add a new feature when feature X has needed fixing since forever?) Constructive comments were lost in the noise so announcements gradually decreased to what we have today, only major items. Opinions differ on what is major.

To be fair, those were more in relation to website updates (often claimed as trying to please mobile users over desktop users), not so much the mobile app itself.

But yes, on every platform there tends to be more criticism than praise.  Still not a good reason not to inform people what's been updated At least the major stuff.  There are more release notes posted for the website updates than the mobile app, to my knowledge.

 

That said, I see many mobile apps get updated without any details provided, other than merely referring to 'regular updates for bug fixes and minor improvements'.  It's kind of annoying, but you just have to trust that the changes made really aren't all that interesting (like typos, documentations, pixel adjustments, interface timings, etc).  AFAICR there haven't been many 'interesting' updates to the app for a while that aren't already known. *shrug*
