I’ve seen a changelog that said “Introduced some bugs, so we can fix them later”.
It was a joke, but true nonetheless.
Good opportunity to say how annoying are update notes like “We are continuing to improve our application. We fixed a couple more issues to make it more stable”. Corporate style, uselessness and the fact that this update can contain some stupid redesign is disgusting.
I’ve reached a point where I avoid these types of updates. An update post like that either means nothing important changed or they’re up to something.
A while ago I saw that style of patch notes, updated an app, and suddenly I can’t use it anymore because it got limited to a maximum of 2 devices. Another time I updated an app putting a harmless “we improved the user experience” message, they put dark mode behind a paywall. This isn’t counting the number of times an app got redesigned to make the user experience worse for no reason. Maybe they wanted to justify hiring 5 UI/UX interns in that quarter or something.
The patch notes look harmless, but my god, they are usually up to something.
Yep, we also got one of these:
and pretty sure the “y” was typo.
My personal favorite used to be “Long time no commit”
