Description Nate Graham 2018-01-26 20:50:05 UTC 
When an App's AppStream data defines <release> tags that have actual information in them (as opposed to just a version number and a release date), we should reward the app by allowing the user to see this information on thre actual app page itself, not only in the update view.

When updating, users like changelogs because it makes them feel like they can make an informed decision before deciding whether or not to update, but on the app page, it gives them a sense that the project actually has forward momentum and is actively developed. Here's an example of how ElementaryOS's store presents the information: https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/2000/1*eZYu9OI5APRUiCfITIdfBg.png

I'd be happy to work up a proof-of-concept patch if you think this could be a decent enough idea. I was thinking of having it under a "Latest news" section header or something, but I'll try out a few different ideas.
