I disagree (quite strongly) with this and would point out that users have explicitly requested this information be included: https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-update-developer-policy-on-release-notes/61856/3 > I agree that release notes for Clang/LLVM are currently insufficient, but we > should also be careful not to over-compensate in the other direction, but > including too much irrelevant noise. Bug fixes are generally far from irrelevant, but I agree that reviewer and author discretion is advised (as with any release note). For example, if you introduce a bug in version N and fix the bug in version N, there's no need for a release note in that situation because there's no user-facing change as far as users care about. But I don't want to try to spell that out in precise detail because there will always be edge cases.
