Thanks for confirming that the jacket at back is unchanged as I expected.
As for the changelog - no sympathy on your one extra mouse click
. It is all about minimising the time/effort I have to spend to push out releases. I edit one changelog.md file as part of making the code change, the GitHub releases notes get automatically generated for me for the notes specific to that release, and the full file is always available from the first post as you found without me having to do anything there but upload the zip. Rather than me having to also copy/paste the notes into the first post, and then also copy/paste them into a “release” post in the thread. Now that the changelog is no longer directly visible from the Plugin Updater plugin in calibre there is no point in all the extra effort of formatting/maintaining it there, and the other maintainers often “forgot” to do so at times too.
In a perfect world I would also like to stop uploading the zip files to these threads too and have the Plugin Updater just grab the zip binary from Github. Sadly I didnt forsee such functionality being something I should support 12 or so years ago when I wrote it. Trying to add it to calibre now would be a bunch of effort that would still take years before we could stop needing to still upload to the plugin threads due to the majority of the users being on older calibre versions. That is the downside of that Plugin Updater plugin being directly integrated into calibre unfortunately, it can’t be independently upgraded.
