Description romanio412 2025-02-20 18:56:22 UTC 
Hello,

I'm unable to find Spectacle change log anywhere.

- Debian changelog (https://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs//main/k/kde-spectacle/kde-spectacle_6.3.0-1_changelog) reports only debian-related changes, without displaying the upstream changes;
- There's no CHANGELOG file on the GitLab server (https://invent.kde.org/graphics/spectacle), there's no information in the Releases section, there's no description at the tags level as well;
- No information about changes can be found on the Github mirror either https://github.com/KDE/spectacle

How can I find the change log easily? Why is it needed to make it so inaccessible?

Cheers,
Raman

It would be nice if Discover showed changelogs.

You can't find it because there isn't one. :) 

In general KDE apps don't maintain detailed changelog files/metadata, though I agree with your implicit criticism that we should. However that's a policy matter rather than a technical matter, which means bugs.kde.org isn't the right place to discuss it. Appropriate places would include the kde-devel@kde.org mailing list and https://discuss.kde.org/c/development/10.
