I hope that that fix was a separate PR with a title mere users could understand? This change could be a big motivator.
One of the issues delaying users from upgrading in the last 2 recent cycles has been the segmentation of the change log/release notes.
Many people used the release summaries to decide whether the benefits were worth the upgrading pain. And since the public release change log only lists the changes between the final beta and the accepted release candidate, those who did not participate in the beta testing were mislead in their decision process.
Ennoborg surprised me when he would insist that there weren’t enough changes between 5.1, 5.2 and 6.0 to justify the releases. But he seemed to be basing the decision on the Release Notes which contained only the changes applied the last 3 weeks of each cycle.
