Summary
Show users what changed when they update to a new version, via a changelog notification card and a release notes modal.
Details
- Fetch release notes from GitHub Releases API (no separate website/API needed)
- Show a small notification card in the sidebar when a new version is detected — display version, title, and summary
- Click the card to open a full changelog modal with rendered markdown
- Track dismissed versions in localStorage so it doesn't nag
- Integrate with the existing auto-update flow
Why
Users currently update blindly with no idea what changed. Showing release notes increases trust, highlights new features, and gives users a reason to update.
