The Loss of Changelogs

The NetBSD developers keep a great CHANGES document up to date with what’s new overall, and even categorize it by architecture and machine when appropriate.

Want to know what changed between 10.1 and 11? Or 10.0 and 10.1? It’s all right there, summarized by the people who did the work.

I have stopped trusting automatic software and operating system updates, they take away useful features or break functional user flows or introduce unwanted AI slop too often. So I am very much back in the boat of software needing to justify an update for me to install it.
