I am not sure how to answer this except to say that I try to list items
that are important for the general reading audience to know.  All
changes are already in the git commit log.

If you would like to make the case that listing all changes would be
helpful for the general reading audience, please make that case.  If you
would like to make the case that being most helpful for the general
reading audience is not the right goal, please explain.
