I thought Safari’s release notes are pretty good – exhaustive, direct, something you won’t ever read for pleasure, but something you can actually learn a lot from even if you are just scanning.

I wish either MDN or Can I use… integrated them in some way (and, of course Chrome’s and Firefox’s as well), so that looking up a certain feature or property – for example, will-change – would show you the recent changes in browsers in reverse chronological order, which could help you understand the details of the feature evolving, and help with debugging.

I saw this screenshot the other day (link):

I never particularly liked those “cute” app updates that were all the rage some… 10 years ago? Or app updates that are too generic. I always felt the updates should be informative, and I occasionally like seeing what’s actually being fixed, and sometimes learning from it.

The post above is about a game called Dwarf Fortress that I have never heard of, despite it going on since 2006. In that game, actual descriptions of bug fixes often feel better than those creative app updates. Some examples:

• Zombies start conversation with necromancer adventurer who tries to sleep in their house
• Cats dying for no reason - alcohol poisoning?
• Giraffe is trainable for war
• Added mouths

PC Gamer some fun ones in 2016, or you can just go to Dwarf Fortress Wiki and explore on your own.

The game seems fascinating, by the way.
